Take caution getting this spot. It is beautiful with a little beach area. I have gotten this spot before. The 2nd time we got it, when we arrived there was a boat tied up in out campsite, the boat belonged to a campsite up the road. All weekend we had random people walking through our campsite (full of girls) to get to their boat. Then THEY let their friends tie up another boat to our campsite with MORE PEOPLE. The foot traffic through the site made the weekend awkward and uncomfortable for us ladies. Yes they were confronted and did not want to move. I was really disappointed. I did not pay for this. So please take caution when booking this "public beach" .

A group of us booked sites 268, 269, 270, all on the water. The sites were clean, but be wary of the poison ivy...it was all through the areas between the campsite and the water, and over half of us got it pretty badly.

Very nice and clean camp grounds, only issue is the web site. I booked two spots one with hook up and one with out. The web site would not let me cancel. So I ended up paying for both

the park is great but the facilities need a lot of work. They are remodeling the shower rooms but they need to work on them and get them done a bit faster.

Absolutely loved our stay on Duck Loop I loved the host he was an absolute Delight to get to know will definitely recommend and will definitely be back the only issue we had was the people that came across from us leaving their trash everywhere expecting everybody to watch their kids as they ran up and down the road out in front of cars while they all sat around a fire drinking and I'm not talking big kids I'm talking little kids in diapers standing out in the middle of the road
