What a beautiful and quiet campground. The sites are spacious, have paved pads with covered picnic tables, fire pit, and a grill. The campground is well maintained with big shade trees and lots of room to roam. We stayed at site #19 which has a view of the lake. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the grass isn’t mowed along the shoreline. It is very tall and overgrown so you can’t access the water. We will definitely be back!

We had a good experience at site 16! There was shade and trees that we hung some hammocks from. We stayed a few nights and it was really peaceful. The campgrounds were really clean and bathroom was also clean aside from some bugs coming in. We will be back! Only thing I could complain about is the lake was low.

Very enjoyable experience…we went for the quiet and we’re not disappointed…the lake wasn’t high enough for the water to reach our area but the view of the lake was great…the park was very clean and well maintained…we stayed for 10 days with our pets and they were able to enjoy the park and wildlife as well…we had water & 30 amp electric hookups and took advantage of the on-site dump station…traveling down dirt roads to get there was a little tiring but well worth it…we will be back

Difficult to get to, 3 mi of dirt roads. No cell service, but lots of deer and deer hunters.

Broke my ankle falling off the broken pad. Pad is 6”+ drop. Won’t be back.
