Besides the camp hosts being gone when it actually mattered it was great.

A homeless man came to the camp next to us and constantly begged us for food and drink. Made us fearful for our belongings if we went out on the lake, as he went around the entire campsite asking for things from every single camp and casing out every camp. So instead we had to sit in the camp to make sure this guy didn’t steal our belongings. Camp hosts were no where to be seen all day/night long. It was obvious he did not pay the fee for his spot.

Besides that the spot we were in was great, awesome views, relatively convenient restroom facilities, water spigots well places among the various camps. Fires were banned at the time, but really was not an issue. The ferry to cross the lake is a couple minutes away. Good sized town about 40 minutes away. Was an awesome time, when actual camp management was not required.

Site said spot was 45’ but it was extremely tight with our truck and 5th wheel. But no problems, right in front of boat dock so we could watch boat. But didn’t need to, campground was small and great. Wasn’t too busy when we went. Water was amazing and warm! Host was super nice and cool.
