Love this campground! Great sites, water access and very remote. We love to bring paddle boards and kayaks here for a weekend to just paddle around and enjoy the calm water.

The park is beautiful and the staff are super nice! Unfortunately the no alcohol rule isn't enforced which wasn't fun to be around with our young kids. We also saw campers damaging trees on their site. As people who believe in "leave no trace," seeing that broke our hearts. The park and lake are great! The other campers.... not so much.
