We arrived in the afternoon without a reservation. The woman at the entrance window could not have been more helpful. She made excellent suggestions of what available spots would be best. She also helped us make the reservation on line using the campsite wifi which was absolutely necessary since there was no other cell phone reception. The park was very well cared for. We spent a very peaceful night right by the water. The stars were amazing. We used the dump out in the morning. It was clean and easily accessed. All in all, we highly recommend this campground.

We absolutely loved our stay. Clean campsites with picnic tables, fire rings, and amazing views of the water with full hook ups. The restrooms were clean. The beach area and playground were well maintained. The staff was super friendly! We will definitely return!

We stayed at site 86, which is a very large site with lots of grass. It was close to a bathroom, the WiFi, and the boat launch. The campground itself was great - a nice playground and beach area. The showers could be better, but they are just camp showers. It was quiet and spacious, and an enjoyable trip. We’ll be back!
