Excellent campground with excellent staff. Many good sites and the WiFi is great considering the lack of OTA TV and cell coverage. Highly suggest that some plan be made to change the entrance. With a large coach the entrance and exit is difficult because the lane is narrow and the turns are too close to those areas.

It's a beautiful campground! Our site was clean. We stayed on site #55, right on the lake. Great time with family and friends! Highly recommend this campground.

This is our favorite local park for a quick getaway. The park is very laid back with lots of trees and sites all along the lake shore. There are several well located bath houses which are clean but rustic as the park is older. There are lots of sites to choose from but full hookup sewer lots are limited so reservations need to be made well in advance as soon as the window opens up - especially if you want a lake side or lake view lot. There is a playground and a lake swimming area as well as a boat launch but that is all of the "activity" opportunities. We go for relaxation and walking or bike riding as there are a good amount of paved roads with lots of shade. A good park to go to for a time-out from busy lives.

Hosts: The campground hosts were very courteous and helpful. They checked with many different campers to make sure they had everything they needed. They helped us with information about the area and secured the campground every evening. We felt very safe.
Campground: The campground was well kept and manicured. The spaces were large and allowed privacy between the individual sites. Although very busy on the weekends, the park was very quiet after 10:00 PM every evening. Some shade on this site and more on others. The bathrooms need updated, but are kept very clean.
