Campsite B by the lake is a gem. We wished the Men's room was more than just a one-holer, but overall everything was fabulous.

Beautiful campground, reserved all sites and pavilion for a long weekend with friends and family. Ample space for all, clean facilities and easy access to an amazing sandy beach. Camp host Liz was friendly and helpful.

We've been coming to this campsite for years. This year did not disappoint. There was not a camp host this year but luckily the other groups were very respectful of the quiet hours.
