The park and site were wonderful. The restroom/shower facilities need a complete upgrade. They are getting really old and nasty, and we do not use them unless forced to. They are also out of order frequently, which is an inconvenience when you really need them.

We camped in Loop B. There was great spacing between campsites and plenty of trees. This part of the lake is very calm. A good place to launch a kayak. There is also a swimming area for young children. Facilities were very clean.

We’ve been coming here for years. The park really needs improvements. The restrooms haven’t been upgraded in probably 30 years. Timbers that serve as guard rails around the campsite are rotten and fallen over. There was a washer/dryer available but in the Feb freeze of 2021, the pipes burst. They’ve removed the washer/dryer and it doesn’t look like there’s any intention of replacing it.
So why do we keep coming back? The campsites are spacious and the lake is beautiful.
