Weather conditions were very poor during to the wildfires in the area, winds were strong enough to make swimming/ paddle boarding unsafe. Had to leave the campground two days early because of this.

We had the best time ever. The water was great. The other campers were so nice and friendly. Can't wait to go next year...

Fantastic campground experience for Independence Day. Each site was full by the holiday, but the sites were dispersed enough to be relatively quiet. There are multiple trails down to the water, although a couple take you directly past/through assigned campsites. Bathrooms were nice and clean, well stocked, and smelled better than expected. I stayed at site 4 and was happy with the layout. It looks like site 16 has the best access to a set of stairs down to the water, but there are numerous sites with good views on the west end of the island. Cell service with Verizon was strong all weekend, and I rebooked my next camping trip for the campground after loving it so much. See you again soon!

We stayed in spot 23. It was an odd spot but next to the water. We were pretty close to our neighbor which we didn’t expect there was no privacy for either of us. Luckily they were super friendly people! I would prob not pick this spot unless camping with another party in the next spot. No access to the water.

The location was great. However the water had receded so much that it was difficult to get to it.

We had the campground to ourselves and right on the water

We have a 37’ pusher pulling a jeep

Some very sharp turns n narrow roads - be careful especially after dark (when we arrived).

We stayed in mid-October on two weekdays. We were the only campers in the campground. Absolutely stunning with several lakefront sites. Toilets and sites were well maintained and clean. Cell signal was a steady two bars.
