The staff is friendly and helpful, and the campground is well-maintained, providing a peaceful retreat away from urban noise. However, there are some downsides, including limited cell service, outdated bathhouses, and occasional maintenance issues like long grass and trash overflow during peak times.

Loved our first time staying, nice and quiet. River was up & running fast after rain, so we didn't utilize the water, but loved our spot.
Super level campsite!!!!!

We took our 5 grandchildren and was happy to see that the rangers had arranged activities for the campers. The campground was clean and the bath houses were also kept clean and well stocked. Wish the hiking trails were marked a little better. Love it here!

This RV site is now our favorite one. It is so lovely, well-kept and offers something for everyone. They have several sites along the water as well as a boat ramp if needed. Their are also several well-equipped playlots located around the large park that are way above average. Finally, we love the ease of making reservations online.

The campground was well kept. The lot sizes for tent camping was perfect – not sure about for campers. The camp itself is not far away from the lake which is a must see if you are going to really get away. PS, if you do go to the lake and want to swim in the designated beach area, well the sand (not like beach sand) can get extremely hot.
