Was next to a guy with the noisiest construction generator I ever heard. So noisy he built a wooden box around it and it did not help. It was 10 feet away from me and he ran it from 10 am till 10 pm. Could not sit outside nor by the campfire at night. Rangers would not do anything so after 2 days I had to pack up and move 5 sites away. Worst camping trip ever. Went home half way through my vacation

I wouldn't have booked the sites if I had known the bathrooms were closed and had to walk 3 times the distance. I feel like alot.of time was wasted and honestly felt like I shouldn't be charged full rate.

It was a good experience! People around us very respectful and nice over all. I felt safe knowing that the park rangers patrolled the area all night.

This campground is densely populated with sites and has little privacy. Noisy neighbors made for a frustrating stay. Temporary bathroom situation including mobile showers and port-a-potties wasn't ideal.

Continue north about 1/4 mile, take the Birchwood Drive exit, make the turn-around and go south on Route 18. Before you cross the causeway again, make a right onto West Lake Road and travel approximately 1/4 mile to the park entrance on the left.
