I love Schwarz. It's safe, well maintained, and well monitored. There's lots of activities like hiking, fishing, swimming, cornhole, horseshoes. And even a play ground for the kids. There's lots of open space for any other activities.

This is a beautifully kept park!!! The spots are well-spaced with plenty of room between sites. Its spacious and so lush and green. The trails are wide and clear. It’s one of the best places we’ve ever visited. We will definitely be back.

Please note! This spot (058) is a pull-through driveway that is clearly meant for an RV. Despite what the picture looks like, there is no grass on this site. That "grass" is the huge compacted gravel driveway and it's not there anymore.
This site is very wide and spans a huge amount of land adjacent to the water, which is awesome for maximizing your setup to be next to the water. But as for a grassy area for a tent, it doesn't exist. I had to put my tent on the driveway and man, did my feet hurt from the large jagged gravel pieces underneath the tent.
Site 057 next door on the other hand, had an amazing grassy area for a tent and it was also right on the river. More private even.
Regardless of site details, this whole region of the campsite is tucked away under trees with lots of shade and significantly more privacy than the rest of the campgrounds. I would definitely recommend this general region.
For an RV or a van: 5/5
For a tent: 2/5
