Great campground! It was fairly full but still quiet at night. The hosts were welcoming, bathroom was clean, and the store had all the essentials plus some fun items. Will definitely come back.

The park was great: clean bathrooms, friendly staff, and well-maintained hiking trails (the 3.5 mile loop around the lake was a lot of fun). Also, the lake itself is great for kayaking - very calm water. It's a beautiful place, and I'll definitely be returning.

Eat at the beach before you go up. Cell phone service is spotty however this is why you are going. Kids enjoy riding their bikes and just playing like kids are suppose to do. Store is well stocked and great prices for last minute things. Love the pan flute music at night great touch and a nod to the Indians.
