Expect Rain when camping here. There is no cell service. The general store is well equipped. They have canoe rentals and the 3mi trail is flat. The beach is nice also.

Beautiful. Had not camped there in years. Was better than I remembered. The campground host was friendly and helpful. The grandkids loved the lake and riding their bikes.

The campsite was very nice and clean. Other campers were very friendly and respectful of each other. Insect/frog noises became pretty loud in the evening but stopped over night. The bathhouse was kept clean and I loved that they have a hot shower there. The camp hosts are super friendly. Love the store there that has about anything one could have possibly forgotten- like butter for the corn.
