The people managing the camp ground were firewood nazi’s because we didn’t buy the wood they provided. Instead we scavenged our own, and they kept driving by in their cart and making comments. Literally every fifteen minutes. People go to the forest for peace and solitude, and these people made it far from enjoyable. We decided to leave a day early, didn’t feel welcomed.

Campground was great. Quiet fairly secluded site easy hook up. somewhat sloped. Chilly night. Bathhouses were clean but in need of some repair and rather cold. Nice quiet stay, would like to have been able to stay longer.

I'd like to start with my experence on the Recreation.gov website. It is not really user friendly. Like, what is the difference between Standard Electric and RV Electric? I called the phone number for someone at the Campground and left a message. Craig called me back and told me what I needed to know to make an accurate reservation. Once there, we enjoyed ourselves. We don't require a lot of activities or entertainment, so quiet was perfect for us. There is a nice walk around the lake, fishing, and hiking/biking trails. I was surprised at the lack of cleared space around each campsite. We were scoping it our for a family campout later in the year. Our family of 12 needs space for 2 RV's and 3 tents and then space to set up corn hole or other outdoor games . The double campsites were intriging but there were not enough flat places for 3 tents and there was not enough space for playing games. I took pictures of all the campsite that were full hookup, but I can't see how to upload them. I'll keep trying.
