The campground was nice, the site large and comfortable. We used the dump station at the Resort (10.00) which worked well. Having the Resort store within walking distance was perfect. (for ice)

The campsite and outhouse were clean. Kayaking was great. There was A blue green algae bloom in the lake. It was posted only as a possibly. Dogs were not safe to swim. Camp ground staff were polite and informative.

Went in the middle of the week and the campground wasn't quite full. The bathroom was very clean.

I would have given the campground a 5 star but the water was not working so potable water was an issue. The lake was not as clear as normal either and was low. Fishing was OK.
