Gate keepers were very friendly and helpful BUT, the campground needed mowing and the fire pits was full of ash and hadn't been cleaned out for a long time. Couldn't have a fire because of all the ashes in the pit. Other than that the place was very nice.

Reservations and checkin was stellar. Our site E304 was clean and had a great view.
Unfortunatly we didnt check upcoming weather conditions. We experienced 20 to 30 mph wind gusts, lake had whitecaps galore. We perservered the first night hopeing the 2nd and third day would improve. It did not. We packed up around 10am the second day. Great campground, poor weather.
