One of our favorite campgrounds to visit with great lake access sites. Sites are usually level and have a good amount of space. Many have nice shade.
My number one wish is that they would update the bathhouses.

The camp site and hosts were great. The loud generators and barking dogs made for not enjoyable time, but by 10 the generators were shut off. The dogs barked a lot and the people just let them bark. Was great when those guests left for the day.

Our lot was ok, but the other 3 lots our group got were horrible! Poison ivy all through the trails to get to the water! We couldn’t let our kids play anywhere near the wooded areas because it was so bad! The camp hosts were rude and unfriendly! Very bad experience this year! Completely disappointed with our stay this year! We may be looking for other options next time!

Nice campground but really need to upgrade restrooms. Need to provide industrial type soap dispensers, especially with the current situation with Covid.
