Horseshoe point will on my list of favorite campgrounds. Bathrooms clean, lots are a little small for a 25 foot camper, love to go back!

Badly eroded shoreline made getting down to the lake difficult and dangerous. Also had the most frightening camping experience of my life after park manager told a highly agitated man with a day pass that there was a single woman camping alone in the park. The man came to my campsite and would not leave because he thought I might be someone he met on the internet who was playing games with him. Then tried to hook up with me regardless, ignoring my making it clear I was not at all interested. The clueless (or vindictive?) park manager said I could have resolved the situation by driving away (leaving the angry stranger alone In my campsite with all my belongings!). Also said I should never have spoken to the man despite having directed him to me! Then said he would make a note that I wanted no visitors, as if an unhinged stranger desperate to hook up with a woman could possibly be described as a visitor. I think he and his wife believed I had it coming for camping alone. Felt like going back in time fifty years. A real wake up call about backward attitudes in that part of the region. Will stay clear of it in the future.

The campground is lovely and bathrooms are clean however park attendants need to enforce rules regarding keeping pets quiet as a camper on the other side of the park had a dog that barked constantly the entire time i was there which ruined the peaceful relaxing atmosphere.
