Beautiful campground surrounded by the lake. It was the absolute quietest camp night I have ever experienced. Not sure if it was luck or what, but I loved it!

Beautiful campground but smaller than we usually stay with not much to do.

Nice small campground. Staff was very nice. Only problem is low hanging trees in the campground and on the roads coming in. Anything over 12' will have problems. Also saw numerous large broken limbs hanging that looked like they've been there for a long time.

A great semi-secluded location. Right on the water for some great relaxation time. Only negative is the showers. Definitely need to be updated. Going later in the year is probably best to avoid the nuts from the trees falling on your vehicles and campers.

This location is close to stores and other retailers that make it convenient if you have forgotten something yet still gives the feel of being away from it all. Park sites are clean. It would be better if there were more paved sites but that could be seen as a personal preference. For those who are handicap this is a big and important item. Bath house has had some work done but could still really use some upgrades. Handicap bathroom has absolutely no ventilation which makes it become very hot after showering. The shower stall has been redone since we were there last and it was a great improvement. It would be nice if they could put in a small bench or chair to sit in to be able to dry off and dress especially since this is a handicap bathroom. Only complaint about how it is run is that if something is going to be said to someone about a minor infraction (which by the way we knew nothing about because it wasn't in the rules) then the same rules should apply to everyone in the campground.
