Wonderful place to ride bicycles. Very friendly workers. Very clean campground beautiful view, even if you’re not on the water side. Would give the bathhouse an 6 out of 10- they are clean, hot water, just outdated and would need to be careful if balance was a concern.

Enjoyed our stay—no problems with our site. Had a armadillo living in the drainage pipe underneath the site—he was not a problem and we only saw him at night…

Love the shaded, level campsites! Fantastic campground for bike riding and just relaxing. Short distance for us from home and offers a chance to get away from the noise and unwind.

If you like country music Nashville close by the fall foliage creates a nice scenic drive and the campsites are very nice and clean.
