Nice place overall, some words of wisdom. Do not camp by the toliets , not worth the short walk at bedtime.
Careful of the wind if you're out on the lake , picks up in the afternoon and can blow a paddle board back into a cove no problem .

We got slot #26, and it was amazing. The camp host was a great guy and very helpful. He kept the bathrooms very clean, which are right across from the sight

Campground was clean! Gary the camphost was very helpful & friendly. There is a boat launch but it gets very backed up & there is limited parking. I would recommend experienced boaters maneuver their boat to launch as the dock wasn't straight at the time when we were there.

We were incredibly lucky to find an open place on 4th of July weekend and it was overlooking the lake with a great little view. There was a trail to a tiny little rock beach from our camp and we got another great early morning view of the lake.
Clean facilities, friendly staff, and so beautifully quiet in the morning with the lake glassy and peaceful.
