Many campers appreciate the relaxed environment and friendly staff, making it a favorite spot for repeat visitors.

Pretty clean. Site 47 was large enough for our 40 foot long camper. Very friendly staff and very laid back. The road to get there is very twisty turny. But just go easy. Watch for deer at night.

This was our first time at this beautiful park. We only got to stay two nights, but wished we had more time to stay longer. The park isn’t very crowded this time of year, so it was very peaceful. We enjoyed the beautiful fall foliage and biking around the park as a family. The hostess was very friendly and informative about the park. The only downside that we experienced was, as other reviews stated, the garage dumpsters at the beginning of our loop were quite ripe.

The campground is very nice. Check in was easy and the camp host is friendly and helpful! Cell service was spotty and no internet. The gps directions brought me driving into the water 12 miles from the campground! I’m not sure if that can be updated. I had a lovely stay.

Had a nice quiet week at this campground. Stayed in site 47 on the water. This is a full hook up site. Restrooms were clean as was the entire campground. Happy we had a screen house to go into at night. Each site comes with a picnic table and fire ring. Local store was 2 miles away with groceries and wood. Cell service with booster was little or none. The Robertsons were great hosts.

Grounds not well maintained, grass needed cutting, low limbs. Camp host very friendly, other wise would rate as poor. This is a beautiful location, just poorly maintained. Virtually no cell phone service.

Beautiful campground!! My only complaint is when making our reservation, we tried to get a handicapped site close to the bathhouse. Showed that all of those sites were reserved. So had to get a site far from there. When we got to the campground, it was practically empty and those sites were available!!!
