Nice and quiet campground. Kids loved riding their bikes and enjoying the scenery down by the water. Would give it 5 stars if it had a swimming pool or some other activities in and around the campground. Nothing bad to say about it though.

I was at campsite 31 and it was a nice site. It was nicely covered with trees above and also near the water which was great for a swim, particularly given how hot it was when I was there.

Great site. This site makes you feel secluded away from other campers. Trees and Brush basically around the site. Nice view of the lake. Most of all Quiet. We enjoy this site and very much.
Bathrooms need updates but are cleaned daily.

Bathhouses need some attention! Hand soap, Paper towels and curtain to block shower goers vs. toilet goers.
Camp Hosts in old Duck are fantastic. They are friendly and happy to assist you.
