Had an excellent vacation! Our campsite was right on the water and although there were snakes in the water, had a fantastic time. Visitor's came and went and we made friends with other campers!

We stayed at site 62. The view was fantastic and the site was a great size and you can pull your boat up to your site.

Beautiful and easy to find. Sites are far apart and provide lots of privacy. Fire pit, grill, and picnic tables were all great. I would gladly camp here again......2 things to consider:
1st there are a ton of flights overhead that are noisy. 2nd my "tent" site (53) was on a major slope so that sucked a lot.

Both Campground host couples were the nicest we have ever encountered. We had to move sites a few times throughout our stay but they were very helpful. Very nice and clean Campground also.

It was a strange stay for me, but i felt happy that there were showers. I thought there was laundry, but couldn't find it if it was there...saw it on the map. Probably wont stay there again.
