I was overcharged for ine night…another person used site that I was charged for. Not right or ethical.

Due to flooding, we were forced to move twice. When they asked if we would move a 3rd time, we packed up and left. However, the rangers were very informative and were always available for questions. I have been going to this park for 20+ years and these are some of the best rangers you have had. They took care of getting our refunds in order as well. If it wasn't for the weather and having to move twice, I would have given my experience a 5 star.

Such a beautiful view of the lake. My 2 year old loved it. We fished right from camp too!

I thought that the shower house closest to the GLOO area had been remodeled and it hasn't been. It may be clean, but it looks disgusting. Other than that, the campground was excellent. Friendly, helpful camp hosts, nice camp sites.

The sites are too hard to back into with a large rv, due to the drainage ditches and the site posts. The trees and shrubs all need trimmed. And the sites need more gravel. They also need more electric sites.
