The area was so clean! The camp host was lovely and willing to help with firewood, a car permit, etc. Best campsite host I've ever had. There were lovely short walks in the area. We only stayed one night but I would definitely go back for a weekend.

Had a great stay. Only reason for the one star off was the lack of communication regarding rules on the camp site on recreation. No where is it listed on the amount of tents an vehicles are allowed on the website when I booked. Overall I enjoyed the campsite, it’s very peaceful with a beautiful view of the lake. The campground hosts often drive around and checks in on everyone. It’s mainly older people camping so it’s very quiet. Curfew is at 10. Definitely not the place to go if you’re looking to be loud. It’s more of a chill campsite. The hosts were really nice and understanding. I’d definitely go again!

Love this beautiful campground! Camp host, Lisa, was excellent and made us feel very welcome. She was friendly and helpful and checked in on all the campers periodically during the day. Bathrooms were kept clean and well supplied. Will definitely be back next year.

Spent my last days before turning 30 here with family. Very quiet and even saw a couple of deers walk very close to our camp. Rained for a night but was sunny during the entire time. Very peaceful!
