The good: trees and nature,lovely place, bathroom clean

The bad: the beach is dangerous too many rocks and deep, sites with no privacy it would be better to have a RV zone and tent only zone, our neighbors turn on the generator all day

I was the only camper in the campground, which helped make it more enjoyable for me. Otherwise, the facility was clean with some very nicely positioned campsites that provided great views. Some of the sites were tightly spaced without vegetation to provide privacy, but overall the layout was good.

Mid April, the water is very low. Take in to consideration if planning to fish. Very quiet and close enough to town if you need anything.

Some spots are really close but no closer than at home. We were lucky enough to have great neighbors. The campground is beautiful and as always kept very clean. The handicapped spots are close to the restroom and had enough room to easily get around. Great mini vacation! We will be back there!

Nicely spaced apart sites. Level, shade from tall pines, quiet and not too far off the main road.

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.
