Love Horseshoe Point! I have been camping there since I was a little girl and I recommend it over all the other places in the area. The only thing that I wish was better is that there were more electric sites. 15 out of 49 sites just aren’t enough. I would love to be able to take my camper to a lakefront site with electric. My husband has to have a CPAP machine so we have to have electricity when we camp.

Beautiful, peaceful campground. Hosts were very nice. The sites with electric designed for bigger rigs. A bit out of the way, and very curvy roads to get there, but worth it!
