The last 2 years we have had the group section rented and received nothing but harassment for one reason or another. I have never seen such poor unfriendly management. Our group has been going their every year for the past 35 years and it's been terrible the last couple times. If we find a different place we will go somewhere else . Camping is supposed to be enjoyable not having to worry about the management coming by in their carts to see what we are doing wrong this time. I would recommend new management before nobody camps in this campground anymore. With low lake levels, outdated boat launch, no swimming area, and poor management I would recommend somewhere else if you have a choice.

Hook-ups were fantastic and the bathrooms were very clean. The "lake" area is a bummer though. No beach to speak of and when the water levels are low, the lake smells like a swamp.

Awesome camp hosts. Super clean restrooms. Nicely kept area. Like that there are reserved and walk up available for the same area.
