Great campground! The bathrooms were clean, the beach was welcoming and the sites were lovely. There is a fishing pier and a hiking trail that go to a neighboring campground on a different lake.

Was a good camping experience overall, sites are not very secluded though. Enjoyed the fishing- caught some largemouth bass- but were all pretty small fish. Saw lots of bluegill also- but none were worth keeping. Positive side of it was that we did catch fish. Good place to take youngsters fishing- they will catch fish if you use worms/ minnows. No dock or pier to launch boats. May visit again soon but will fish Kentuck Lake which is right near there- has better fishing for larger fish. Was plenty of firewood available if you like to collect your own- also some for sale. Was a lot of open sites available- campground was barely half full. Beach not really sandy- water was warm- not as clear as we thought it would be. Enjoyed it....
