Nice sites with plenty of space. Nice boat launch and docking spaces. Clean restrooms with flushable toilets and hand washing sinks. Nice view from campsites. We would camp here again.

Have visited many times and it’s always great. The reservation system needs to be renovated and is not a fair way to make reservations. It always shows little availability, if any at all, and then the campground is half full. Very frustrating as many of the “best sites” were empty. Must find a better way so enjoyment can be even better.

The camp host was very personable. The area is beautiful, the swimming area was clean as were the showers and bathrooms.

This campground was beautiful. It’s been there for years so the sites are for smaller RVs. We fit okay with a 21 ft travel trailer. But still hard to move around. Our site overlooked the lake as most sites did.

Whoever planned and executed these campsites has very obviously never camped. Almost every tent and camper was on a severe grade. There wasn't even a somewhat level spot for the picnic table. It was ridiculous. The picture of the camp spot was extremely deceiving. We had the tongue of our RV completely in the ground, the tires on blocks and jacked all the way up and we weren't even close to level. We had to keep the trailer chained to the truck because we were fearful of rolling into the lake, even with a crazy amount of blocks behind the tires. The beach was great and the launch was also wonderful though.

  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee.
