I had great hopes for this location. It was on a lake and right next to an event I was attending. However, upon arrival at about 7:30pm I found an rv in my reserved spot that was plugged in and unoccupied. I tried to see the camp host, but they were not there. I waited until nearly midnight for either the rv owner or the camp host to return but neither happened. I slept in the parking lot and left the next morning with no sight of either. I also left a voicemail and have yet to hear back. This location has so much potential but I would not recommend based off of my experience.

It’s a beautiful quiet park. You can’t beat the price. The park hosts are awesome helpers.

It’s a shame that we had to bring our own weedeater to cut the grass at our campsite. The grass was at least 2 feet tall.

Quiet park. Just need to mow the waist high grass.

They need to know what a lawn mower is, a weedeater is, paint (covered table areas), as well as air or fans in the bathrooms (you sweat trying to get dressed after a shower). Also need to put new pictures of the spots to rent. Mine showed nice shade trees on picture, Only to get there and they have been cut down so no shade at all.
