Well, it was very quiet, and of course, primitive. We had a very pleasant stay both times, and I will certainly stay there again.

So very relaxing and quiet! Been coming for over 40 yrs and I must say the past several years have been the best with the Rangers being awesome. The campground is very well maintained and it now has a more family atmosphere. Looking forward to next years adventures at Nancy's!

Always a good place to chill! It seems being boat access only, helps to keep it not as full which is very nice! I look forward to all the new trees growing as there isn't much in the way of shade for most of the sites. Seems to be well kept after which is nice!

Nancy’s boat to shore is a beautiful place to go but I was disappointed to find that the grass was tall
and had not been mowed this surprised me because we reserved right after the Labor Day holiday. They did come to mow but we had to move our camping stuff so they could mow. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom to the right and no hand sanitizer in both bathrooms. It’s no fun when you already started going only to reach in and nothing is there.

Plus side. Wonderful views and an excellent location on the lake. Negitive. Rustic bathrooms are fine. But, to be there for four days and not have one cleaning service, is not a good way to get a positive review. Bathroom accommodations were horrible! Been here many times. This time ruined our trip. Not going back.
