Very well kept campground with group facilities clean. A pleasant experience. Basically very quiet except for a few unruly dogs but dogs bark. Some people just have better trained dogs than others.

We were very impressed with how well the campground was maintained and especially pleased with how clean the bathhouse was. It was one of the cleanest we've ever been in.

We stayed at campsite and some workers there sprayed around our camper without posted notices. Did not notify beforehand about sprays or what was to be sprayed, for those with allergies. Seemed to disturb wildlife since a snake cameout the next day, beautiful white ducks left and fire ants began to come inside and the flies began to bite us.

Firewood Alert: Don't Move Firewood! Due to the spread of invasive insects (such as Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)) firewood from outside the area is not permitted. Help protect your forests by purchasing near your camping destination and burning it on-site. Firewood is not available for sale on-site, however several local businesses sell firewood a short distance away, see the campground host or attendant for more information.
