We stayed in #7 and had a wonderful time. The weather was beautiful and the lake was very clear. Our spot itself is quite large with a very short walk to the water. I especially liked the jets practicing their maneuvers overhead, although some may disagree. We tried our luck at fishing and caught a couple but ended up just letting them go. The camp host was a sweet guy and helpful. Since it is dry camping, one major complaint is that there was not an easy place to fill our fresh water tanks. There were spigots but no threads to hook up a hose. We ended up having to fill a 5 gallon jug and using a funnel, pour it into our tank. Had we known this ahead of time we could have filled prior to driving into the campground. Very inconvenient to say the least, but that was the only negative thing I can say. We are definitely going back.

Good camping experience…nice campground. Not a lot of shade…might bother some people. The garbage issue hopefully was temporary and is being addressed. Every single garbage collection container was OVERFLOWING with trash by several days. I don’t know if it was a campground operator issue or the contractor hired to empty the dumpsters. Besides that nice camping experience.
