The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful lake for paddling, and well-maintained bathrooms contribute to a positive experience.

Beautiful well maintained campground and park! The disc golf course is amazing and a definite must play.

We love the location, the views, the hosts. Clean well kept (lately) sites with plenty of room at most of them. The lack of cell service, which I understand is NOT the campgrounds problem, is a little bit of an annoyance, but we make it work. Lots of room to maybe add a dog park. Our 2 Brittany's do not like being on a leash or tied up so a little bit of off leash time would be awesome. We will continue to support this campground year after year.

Miss the check-in station and never did see a camp host.Been staying there since the opening on an off and miss the old ways. But I guess am to old for the way everything is by computer or phone app.

The site that I reserved was a beautiful site, flat, nice new table, fire pit in good condition, located where I wanted to be. Unfortunately, the electric breaker was not functioning so we were guided to another site that was less than the original. It had everything it should have but it was old, well used and on an incline. We managed and had a good stay, just not what we anticipated.

I stayed 7 nights in the Cove Loop and had a very good experience. Bathrooms and showers outdated but clean. Entire campground seems well kept and clean. Campground hosts seem attentive and readily available. Quite crowded on the weekend, but still fine, sparsely populated weekdays. Good for road cycling around the lake. Light traffic and wide shoulders, about a 14-mile loop. No cell phone coverage in the campground, but I did have cell phone coverage near the swimming area and boat launch, I had coverage every day, had to reboot phone a few times to get it, but other than that access to texts, internet, and calls. (Consumer cellular, AT & T sim card)
