Decent campground.
All the facilities worked as advertised.
I got fair coverage with my Verizon phone here. Not great, but I could watch a youtube video.
Did not like the bathroom and shower facilities.
Showers were much too hot.
I also did not like the arrangement of the campsite. The pull in and tent pad are kind of far from the table and grill for the site.
Actually had to look at it from a couple angle to figure out which table belonged to which site. They are that close together and the tables are placed haphazardly. They are very very heavy so I doubt the were moved by campers.
On the plus side the campground is clean, clutter free and dog friendly. Lots of shade from the trees. There appear to be dumpsters situated in multiple places so you don't have to hold all your waste until you leave.
Overall I would visit again, merely because it is convenient when traveling from Northern Ohio to the East Coast. Lots of nice scenery on the way there too.

The campground is clean, washrooms are very good. Some spaces have good sized lots, others you are right next to the next camper. Many sites are right on the water. The campers are well behaved and friendly. The only negative is that if you are staying more than a couple of days you will have to move your camper to the water supply to refill. The electric is excellent with both wattages.

Sites 60 & 62 were very private. Campers were respectful and quiet. Campgrounds was very clean. Most people drove under the posted speed. Site was gravel and level. Any contact with staff found them friendly, helpful and very positive attitudes.
