My experience was good, I have not had the access to all locations for a total evaluation. I will return again next year.

The location and setting were very nice. We camped after Labor Day so a lot of the park was closed.
My only complaint was the bathrooms need more shelving or a bench to put things on. Meaning, if I went to the restroom before the shower, I had no place to put my stuff while using the restroom.
Some paper towels would also have been nice, but I understand why you don't have them - just more waste and mess.
The Showers could definetly use some updating.
I was in campsite 70 to let you know what bath I used, in case other locations might be better.

Just got a new travel trailer and wanted to try it out locally. Beautiful grounds, clean, quiet and a beautiful lake.

Area was nice overall, however, the shoreline at the campsite was covered in large rocks and made it dangerous to fish as we had hoped. The satellite image showed different and found out that was just done this past spring. No bait available at this campground which sucked.
We hope to revisit again now knowing of better sites to reserve.
