The campground is well-maintained, with clean facilities and beautiful lakefront sites, ideal for RVs and some tent camping.

Site 19 has not been cared for in a while. Weeds right up to the fire pit all the way around. Plants overgrown around the picnic table and trees down had been fallen across the trail and not cleaned up. The other sites looked nice and cared for. Had I been tent camping I would have left and asked for my money back.

The area was absolutely stunning. Gorgeous in every direction. Campgrounds were very well kept. Our campsite was great.

Nice campground with water access! Only a few sites booked the days we were there, so it was very quiet and relaxing!

We loved all of the trees and shade that they provided. Both the campsite and bathrooms were super clean. The walk to the water is short and easy. The only risk is that the attendance of the sites is not regularly supervised. We had a regular campsite next to us that ended up having almost 20 people who were incredibly loud. They took over a portion of our campsite and stayed up super late past quiet hours. The ranger did come through a few times a day but never really stopped to check-in with the guests occupying each campsite.

When we arrived, someone was parked in our reserved campsite. They had no reservations and we had to ask them to move. The next day, another camper stopped at our campsite and told us they had reserved that site. Recreation.gov had double booked that campsite; we both had confirmed reservations for the same site and dates. The campsite next to us had 4 trucks and a boat parked on the pad and road and the dumpster by them was used to dump fish guts. The campground was lovely. It was green, the wildflowers were in bloom and the area has recovered nicely from the controlled burn a few years ago. Unfortunately, the vetch is starting to take over a lot of the natural areas. There were lots of birds and we spotted an owl that was active in the area.

Beautiful campground! With no amenities except pit toilets, it seems to attract self sufficient campers who enjoy the solitude )minus a couple hours each morning of generators). Favorite campground and the fact that is now reservation only makes it more accessible for those outside of the immediate area.

Fellow campers in next site had an abundance of firewood and packed some over each night to ensure I had wood for a campfire. Great folks.
Marcus CiderFest was going on in town with a parade, many entertainers, vendors and classic car show. Freshly made cider was for sale and it was sure good.
