What Guests Are Saying

Camp host Connie received high praise for her friendliness and cleanliness, making for a pleasant stay. While access to water recreation is limited due to a locked gate, the campsite remains a lovely area for camping, with beautiful surroundings. However, visitors should be aware of the small site sizes and the distance to drinking water, suggesting that bringing your own water is advisable.

Site 11 was super small and full of mosquitos because of the drainage! Other sites were not as buggy. It was great to be close to the boat ramp and it is a beautiful area.

The site says it can have an RV, most are too small for a trailer!

The site itself is nice and spacious with ample parking. However, the large driveway to the site doubles as day use and boat parking which is quite busy on the weekends.

Site 011 is tiny, but the site directly across the road (on the water side) is great. Clean, well kept campground, with great camp host. The boat launch is awesome, and the reservoir is incredible.
