Spacious wooded campsites near a beautiful lake. The host was very helpful. Cell coverage was poor with Verizon so it helps to have a reservation before arrival.
Nice bathroom facilities.

We very much enjoyed our stay. Bathrooms were clean and our site was well maintained. We visit the lake often but haven’t camped before and we were very pleased to finally give it a go. We will definitely be back!

Was so happy this campground opened after initially stating they would be closed for the season. One of our favorites. Wishing they would state open later every season as they did this year.

Very nice quiet park. Could see other campers but our sites felt private. We had three... ( my mistake) . Easy walk to the lake and many campsites right on the lake. We had poor cell coverage. Had to walk to lake shore to get texts or call. Heard a TMobile guy had no issues. Overall l, we loved our time here and would come back.

No Verizon cell service at campsite #23. Have to drive to boat ramp for spotty service. Lots of dogs barking the weekend we stayed. We will probably not return. Ives Run is a much better campground.
