We love this campground. By far a favorite for years and years- my husband has been camping here since he was young and now we bring our kids! Everyone is so kind and you meet great people. There’s a new pizza place on the way up the mountain to stop in at.. they also run the camp store. Bring a bike, kayak (or rent one), and you can enjoy riding the camp loops or the trail and going out on the water. Super family friendly!

It’s a beautiful area with a gorgeous lake. The bathrooms were immaculate, the sites are large with a good distance between them. The hike around the lake is a bonus and the beach was really nice. Will definitely be going back.

The campground and store were great. We did meet a couple of Park rangers that were not very nice. They ask for drivers license, registration and proof of insurance. Which we had. Only problem was insurance rarely send paper copy of insurance. They want you to pull it up on your phone and without cell service you can’t do that. The rangers were rude about it. We were given a warning. We are law abiding people and no need for them to be rude. They are not the first I met at this campground that were so rude. Unfortunately a few years back we met one. I wonder if it is part of their training to learn to be rude to people.

My family had a great time, the camp store has anything you might've forgotten. The pads are very clean and well kept up angled for easy backing up. The bathrooms are clean with good water pressure and warm showers. All bathrooms are convenient to walk to. My kids loved the beach which has bathrooms closeby and an open air shower to rinse off the sand. I would be glad to come back and get out on the lake.

Campground is clean. Bathrooms are clean. Electric hookups worked as expected. Sites were nicely spaced and shaded. No water at the site. No cell service at the campground. It is stated that there is a 26 foot rig limit, however they were many much larger units in the sites.
