Tent camping sites are great! Tent pads were level and water plus electricity were trouble free. Showers and bathrooms were clean and close. The scenery of the lake and hills were beautiful. Staff is very courteous and helpful! The only issue we had was parking our motorcycles. The campsite was on a hill with no level surface and no asphalt pad for parking. So parking the bikes was quite a challenge on inclined dirt as there is no room on the road next to the campsite. It was pretty tentative parking but all in all, we enjoyed our campsite.

The camp sites are very well kept and placed perfectly to enjoy the beauty of the lake. However a few things to note…
1). Power supply is approximately 40’ from tent pad. Would have been good info in description of site.
2). Both showers at site were out of order. 3). All three toilets leaked at base when flushed.
4). Porta Johns should have been brought in when power was lost for most all of Saturday. Bathrooms quickly became too disgusting to use.
5). Very late (midnight) arriving guests were not kept at an acceptable volume nor were they considerate with vehicle or halogen work lights. They were noticeably under the influence of excessive amounts of alcohol. Suggest no later arrival of 9:00 for campers; tent and RV.
6). Experienced at least 3 dogs not leashed. Owners had no control over pets’ behavior or barking. Encountered one pittie. Suggest more frequent camp host or park ranger presence.
