Sites were big and level but fairly open. One beach was covered in weeds waist high but other seemed nice. No real hiking trails in campground

Reserved S45 w/electric, $15/night same as non-electric - wow, this is going to be great! Thats as "great" as it got! Site was un level and could tell right away where water pools...right where the RV pad was. Site was roomy and spaced away from other sites. If we never would have left our site our rating would have been much higher. But we had a family get together planned so fishing and swimming were on the menu. We took a walk through the campground to check out the two beaches and fishing pier. One beach is not being maintained, the other one was VERY ROCKY on the beach and swimming area, not kid friendly! The fishing pier doesn't appear to be maintained as there were missing boards from the railings and the pier itself has not been looked after in quite a long time, cobwebs galore, food wrappers, and fishing baskets hung off the pier with dead fish in them. Again, the missing railing boards make for a safety hazard. On our walk we noticed the benches and picnic tables in the common areas were in need of maintenance. Missing/broken boards, benches were crooked making sitting on them not comfortable, playground was usable, but needed sprucing up. Boat landing is in dire need of upkeep. The water level is at least 20 feet below the concrete ramp and looks like it's been that way for several years. Camp hosts are abundant, one in each loop. Not sure what they do except ride around on golf carts all day. Modern bathrooms haven't been deep cleaned in weeks! Broken/leaking toilets, scummy/moldy showers. The pit toilets were pristine compared to the modern bathrooms. The camp host in the Bass loop looks like they are "Homesteading!" Their campsite is trashy looking, not an image I would want presented if I was the ranger here. This campground could be a gem if it had some TLC, but it was unanimous in our group we won't be returning.

This campground is very clean and well monitored. There were multiple Camp Hosts driving around - and they were super helpful. The spot we had was quiet and peaceful. The beaches (there are two) were nice but do tend to get green later in the summer. I will be coming back!

This park catered to ATV users and offered little in the way of hiking or walking opportunities. The lake setting was nice. There were lots of mosquitoes although it was worse in MN.

A quiet and peaceful campgrounds. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Grounds clean and fun to walk around the grounds on the paths and road.

We were in site 49 in mid July with a 34 ft. 5th wheel and had a really hard time getting our rig into the spot. There are deep ditches on both sides of a narrow road with limited turning capability. Had it not been for the family camping directly across from us that was able to assist on all four corners of the vehicle we would not have been able to get setup. Once we got into camp it went a little smoother. The camp is extremely clean and all three camp hosts were very pleasant and helpful, to the point of loaning us a honey pot to dump with. We ultimately cut our trip short and moved camp to a private campground about 5 miles away - still on the lake - because of the bugs. The entire campground is set deep in the woods and there is no escaping the flies and mosquitoes that swarm every time you step outside. There was nothing wrong with the campground - the showers were old but in good shape and clean. Same for the bathrooms. Water was available and easily accessible, it was simply the level of bugs that finally did it for us. We moved to a campground on the lake but it was in an open field and voila, no bugs. If bugs don’t bug you then this campground will be fine and we would have stayed had it been September or October but it was mid July and they were having a heyday with us.
