We have been coming to this campsite for years. The campground is smaller than others but the sites are a decent size, wooded, and the campground is peaceful.

Over all the camp site are far enough apart for privacy but close enough if you came with a friend. The reason I gave only a few stars is because we went to use the one and only bath house with showers and there was no hot water. Tried to address this with the camp host and there was no help there. Very disappointed that this campground is not better taken care of.
