This has been one of the best campgrounds we have been too. My family has stayed at many different spots and all of them are great. The lake is awesome for swimming and you cannot beat the view. Bathrooms are super clean. Only down fall is it only has 1 shower for the entire campground. I would recommend anybody to stay.

Very nice and clean camping area, Bathrooms and bathhouse clean, nice swim area for kids also good place to kayak. Only complaint I have is the ground keeper that stays near the bathhouse is very rude and disrespectful did not appreciate it at all we was not the only campers complaining about him while we was there

The staff that runs the campground are super nice and keep the bathrooms very clean. We absolutely had a blast. Only down fall is people bringing dogs to the beach swimming area without a leash on and not cleaning up their #2 waste. I stepped in it twice. Other then that I love camping here with my family.

Cancellation policy

Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
