Campsite was nice, it has a double RV site with water and electric, bathrooms were nearby and has running water and well kept. The fire pit didn't have the best set up but it was sufficient. Camp hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable.

We used a tent only and had plenty of room. We didn't need the RV space so it would have been helpful to know that there were plenty of tent sites near the lake. The tent and first come sites seemed to have a lot of generators running, so there's the downfall for that.

August was hot and dry and we had to pack up early due to wildfire smoke and ash, so that put a damper on our trip.

had to cancel due to a vehicle breakdown, neither you or the campground was able to give a partial refund or even answer the phone. your website was unresponsive as well, yet it said a partial refund was available.

This campground is full of fat RVs and people who listen to radios all day and night. Not a nature lover's campground, but an equipment lover's campground. There was a wedding going on down by the lake that had music blasting at various times. I can't believe that was allowed, but apparently it was. And our campsite "neighbor" had a smokey fire on a night that was hot, and a radio playing loudly as they sat there staring at the smoke. Really? Learn how to be quiet, dude; your kids will one day thank you. Anyway, eventually somebody else went over and told them to turn off the music at about 9:30, but the smoke blew into our site all night. Also, the 120V outlet at our site didn't work and the spigot leaked unless you adjusted it just-so. I would not stay there again. Not a respectful crowd and nobody enforcing anything.
