Shower house clean but in need of updating, great disparity in site low lying sites in desperate need of gravel while high sites well maintained with gravel. Low sites had swamp like conditions with intense mosquitoes

Love the campground and will definitely go back.
We were disappointed that the playground was closed and also not the same as in the campsite photos. We tried to find the 2 playgrounds that were on the map by the entrance but they were no longer there. There was just a basketball hoop. We made the best of it but I choose the site based on the playground. My kids are younger and it was their first camping trip.
Updates to the map and campsite photos would be appreciated.

The lake is pretty, campsites are ok however the park rangers are rude and unhelpful. They actually were rather mean to a bunch of children.

Bathroom/ shower room need updated. Roads need updated. The park seems to look the same for the last 15 yrs with no updates being done for people that actually camp there

Good site. Extremely unlevel for a larger camper. Poison ivy EVERYWHERE. So if you have kids or dogs beware. Nice sized lot to spread out. There are stairs at the back of the site to make it easy to get to the water.

It was the off season, so just this area was open. Not busy, Nice and quiet, just the way we like it. Although we did have trouble finding fire wood, none available on-site and hard to find in the local area. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. He had a great sense of humor, we really enjoyed talking with him and hearing his jokes.

They discriminate. I have 1 leg and my camper is an older camper and was asked to leave when the season opened back up and then was told u can't live there but there has been other people living there. This place only has 3 handicap sites and they r closed for the winter and this campground is no where handicap accessible. The rangers have poor people skills.

I understand it's winter season but if you're going to have open bathrooms you should have open showers as well. It would be great to see showers at this location. I camp everywhere in the winter and most places have showers. The bathroom part is nice but a shower is needed for mens and women's.

Take Exit 4B (formerly Exit 1) off I-80 and follow Route 18 north about 6 miles until you cross the lake's causeway. The park is on the left, but this is a divided highway. Continue north about 1/4 mile, take the Birchwood Drive exit, make the turn-around and go south on Route 18. Before you cross the causeway again, make a right onto West Lake Road and travel approximately 1/4 mile to the park entrance on the left.
