This campground has a lot of pros with a few cons. This campground is beautiful, the lake and the creek are just incredible. This campground has amazing wildlife. There are crawfish to catch in the river and lake, trout to fish for, garter snakes, blue jays, hawks, and frogs. Our 12yr old loved catching the crawfish and frogs and wading in the river and lake. The lake does have A LOT of shallow water to wade into which was very enjoyable - the lake is very family friendly. The hosts were extremely nice and the campground was well maintained. The pit bathrooms didn't smell horrible, were stocked and clean. We were at site 13, which had an incredible view of the river. The only con to the site was the mosquitos were absolutely horrendous (we were here 7/16-7/20). There were just swarms and nothing would help keep them away. We were there 3 nights & had to leave early because we were just being eaten alive! Next time we come to this campground we will defiantly make sure we are no where near the river. The only other con was the 20 mile/1 hour drive up the horrible gravel road up to the campground. This is our second time at this campground and we might be back.

We had a great time camping here. During the last week of the season. Sept 7-10. No mosquitoes, a few bees at times but not terrible. Very quiet
spot as it's an hour on a (well maintained) gravel road to reach it. The pit toilets were mostly clean, just smelly as they usually are. We brought clorox wipes. It was no problem. The lake is amazing. Clean and clear, one of the best for kayaking, we actually had it all to ourselves. Plus no motorized boats aloud so that's a plus. We also did a hike around the lake that was beautiful, definitely recommend. Remember to pack your own water in! And it's a dusty spot later in the season after no rain for a while so be ready for dirty lower legs and
feet all the time. But hey, that's campin'!

Very good campground. Clean bathrooms, stocked, and not smelly. The hosts were very helpful. We ended up booking a tent site that didn’t have room to park our truck tent, so we were able to switch to an open lot.

Very pretty spot, right on the water. We paddleboarded right in front of our tent.
The only issue is that there’s only space for one small tent, and the other sites are VERY close (less than 10 yards away)
