Many visitors enjoyed their stay, highlighting the spacious, shaded sites and the park's family-friendly atmosphere.

We rented 3 spaces and brought our dogs with us. Within 5 min a rude lady identified herself as camp host aggressively approached my buddy and wife about our dogs barking. It was 2pm so it wasn’t late. But it was not our dogs that were barking it was 2 campsites over. Because of this lady’s aggressive behavior my friends autistic son was afraid to come out of his tent and eventually his mom drove him back home to bowling green. We will not be back if that camp host is still there next year.

One of the best camping sites I have been. The scenery is amazing. It is surrounded by water and most sites have a view of the water of not waterfront. The amount of deer we saw there was surprising. The are so many just hanging around the area.

My wife and I have enjoyed the campground every time we have been there. We try to go every year at least once. It’s always clean, quiet and well maintained. Camp sites are nice and most are large enough for any size rv or tent.
