Very nice, family oriented park with friendly attendant on duty. However, the poor to mostly 'no" cell service made my stay less than memorable.

Really loved this park. The guy at the front was so nice. Being right on the lake was very cool and the kids loved the private beach. The layout was great for the kids to ride their bikes. They both (6/8) learned to ride while on this trip. Clean and tidy. Wasn't the nicest bathrooms we've camped at but that is really a micro gripe and doesn't at all diminish our time there or our intent on returning. I did get cell service but zero mobile data and only 4 tv antenna channels. I say that as a positive because I was really able to decompress. Overall a great time and we will certainly be back!
