Great for cat fish, pan fish, plenty of carp if your into it. Great for kayaking even for little ones,all the other watercraft was respectful!

Wish there were better places to launch kayaks from. I felt I was imposing on other campers walking near their campsites

Bathrooms and showers could use some repair and updating. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Very nice and well kept campground. Perfect if you have a boat, pretty good if you have a kayak. Make reservations early if you want electric/water hook-ups, but the lakeside sites might be worth going without.

We enjoyed bringing our jet-skis and using the one loop that has waterfront sites that connect the lake by a channel. It is a nice way to keep the jet-skis from getting banged up because there is no wake back the channel. The campground is well taken care of and there are a lot of choices for the types of sites you want!

Usually make 3-4 trips a year to your campground. Met some very nice people and some new friends. Well maintained and taken care of.

We have been camping here since 1994. We enjoyed taking the kids and pets. We have never had to worry about the safety of our kids. And now our son and his family are camping with us. It is always relaxing to get away.
