The electric sites along the water are great. Boat access is good an many of the sites, however some of the site require a walk down a steep hill behind the sites to access the water. Then, the hill ends in the water. Most sites in the electric areas are quiet but you can still hear some generators from non-electric sites. The lake itself if huge with unlimited horsepower. A nice swim beach too, a bit of a drive up the road. No private beach at the campground.

You must make reservations online as you’re not able to do it in person at this park which I see as a major inconvenience. If I didn’t have a smartphone with me with decent internet access we wouldn’t have been able to stay. Please make in-person reservations possible again! Thank you! Other than that- had a great stay- the bathrooms are really nice and clean and the sites were well maintained. Loved being right on the water.
