The Park ranger was awesome. She was able to switch our campsites in the computer and was all around very knowledgeable and helpful. Great job!

always winding and not enough dock space and a poor dock system. need more docks and a way to break the wind so the dock does not beat up your boat. the campground could be taking better care of. put gravel down around the campfire pits, rake up the campsites and clean up where the dead trees have been cut up. cost is now 23 per night and no improvements have been made.

Good campground right on the lake. The camp host greeted us within a few minutes of our arrival and was helpful. Most spots are fairly close together but some have enough space to not feel like your completely eavesdropping on your neighbors’ conversations, or visa versa. Not a problem though as the campground was quiet after 9:30/10:00 both nights. Enough trees throughout the grounds to provide some shade. The view from the water-side spots is great! Most spots were fairly level on asphalt pad, but we didn’t really care for how they were mounded up. And since they are just barely wide enough for the trailer, we were pretty much walking down a slope for about 10-15 ft to get a more level area to set up chairs, therefore sitting under our trailer awning was not really possible. We did like the easy access to both boat launch area and boat docks for getting into our kayak.

Over all an okay site. The ferry running all day made a lot of noise and close proximity to the highway, giving it an “industrial area” feel. Bathrooms where pretty far apart. Camping Sites really close together. It was clean though. Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it.
