Summary
The experience with extended families was enjoyable. However, it is recommended to bring a reserved sign for the dock to prevent others from occupying your boat slot and using your camp facilities. Overall, a fun time with a minor logistical consideration.

Bring a Reserved sign for the dock, else folks will tie up in your boat slot to party for the day while you’re out. Be aware that folks will tie up and walk through your camp to use the bathroom.

We’ve been coming here for years and love it. However, the lack of respect from other boaters coming to the private dock to spend their day or have lunch is out of control. There needs to be a “reserved” sign at the dock or something to deter people who have not paid the money to reserve this group site from docking their boats. One lady even yelled and screamed at us for asking her to leave—it’s ridiculous. The hosts for this group site need to help those of us who have reserved the site to keep it private.

The restrooms were locked, and the boat dock had broken away from it tie down and pulled away from the beach. We could still use the dock it was just a short wade through about 3' of water to get to shore. Very disappointed with whoever is taking care of the facility this year.

Says the group site it for up to 40 people but there are only 2 tent sites, so you have to make the additional tents fit on less than level ground. Also, this year the bathroom wasn’t working and they had placed an outhouse next to the dock…a very small out house…like your knees hit the door small with a small waste holding tank in a site for 40 people…it was absolutely disgusting!
