We had the best weather and a great site looking out to the lake. People are friendly and we met some new friends along our daily walks. Hope to come back again next season.

Brad. the ranger was very helpful and considerate when we had to c all 911 and send my husband to the hospital in New York State. We had a great time up until he got sick. We love this campground and have been going there for almost 40 years.

We love the campground and travel close to 3 hours to come every year! My only complaint is about the sites that we had. Sites 6 and 7 became very muddy and were a slipping and falling hazard to get up to the fire ring. I was 8 months pregnant this trip and struggled to go up to sit near our fire. A set of steps or something would easily fix this! Other than that it’s always great to be there!
