Place was great! Fair amount of shade. Campsites and bathrooms were clean. The whole campground was extremely quiet after 10pm, but might have just gotten lucky. The lake was really nice, fishing was really good in the morning. Kayaking was fun. Only real downside to the experience was the bugs. As long as you're prepared with mosquito repellent and stuff you're good to go. Highly recommend a 10x10 pop up canopy, it was a lifesaver during the day. I would definitely go back again.

Loved this campground so much! There’s was quite a bit of space between sites, bathrooms were clean (always stinky though, but that’s normal), the lake was beautiful, lots to do in the area, lodge store was great!
