The staff is friendly and helpful, and the campground is well-maintained, providing a peaceful retreat away from urban noise.

I've always loved this campground because of the beautiful setting and the very helpful personnel. However, the lack of telephone service this year became problematic. I had forgotten this drawback until I was nearly at the campsite, and had neglected telling family and friends where I'd be for a couple of days. That caused a bit of angst.
Idea, is this feasible: Rent space through a local phone tower and add a $5 phone access fee to all two or more-day camper stays to help cover your cost?

Campground was very clean and grass was mowed. We did have a bad storm with electric going out for almost 24 hours but hey, we are camping ❣️

Be advised: neighbors in a large group partied all night long - drinking alcohol, blasting music, using profane language, and jumping into the lake until 6:00 am. Think twice if you want an enjoyable and quiet camping experience - especially as this campground is advertised as a “family campground”. Never in my life have I ever witnessed such blatant disrespect for everyone else in the campground, and on top of that, did not see the host once. Since nobody reprimanded the folks that were partying, I’m sure they’ll be back… but we most definitely will never return.
