Mind boggling that you’re charging $52 dollars a night to camp. The camp host was completely arrogant. People camp there to enjoy family and ride there off road vehicles. Instead, we paid the overpriced fee just to be barked at and treated 2nd class. This place was great in the 80’s and 90’s as kids with dirt bikes but that time is long gone. You can keep your fees and your welfare camp host. We won’t be back.

We do an annual camp trip every year with a theme costume content. Our camp host Rod was fantastic and so was his care for the campground from the cleanest bathrooms and campsites we have seen, to stopping by to say HI and make sure everything was good. He was friendly, helpful and very nice. This truly enhanced our outdoor adventure there. Will see you next year! Ken and Carol Grittner

Campground is clean, sites are big and roomy with enough space between each. Bathroom was nice & clean and is across from site 10 (didn't show on map when I booked). Nice trail along the lake (doesn't go around the lake due to private property), 2 day use parking areas within the campground, swimming area accessible. Campground is near an ORV park, so heard dirt bikes and side-by-sides up/down road most of the time we were there.

Nice campground! The paved roads are great for keeping the dust down. Water stations are plentiful and near by.

I will be returning. This camp ground is absolutely beautiful. The camp host was very helpful if we needed anything. The trails to the lake were fun and so close. It was surprisingly very quiet here.
