No rangers in sight

The campground itself is pretty nice. Theres flush toilets and hot showers (not tokens needed.) The camp sites are not close together, which is nice. You can bike to the water pretty easily, and there’s a marina store with food trucks. The reason I gave it only three stars is the lack of rangers. Each time I’ve stayed, there was a large group of people blasting their music until 2/3 AM. It was awful. This is a large campground. They really need a ranger in the day and night to keep things enjoyable. We couldn’t even enjoy our dinner or even hear our own music because their music was so loud.

Solo Camp Trip

Quick turnaround camp trip. Wasn't expecting too much but really liked the places I visited while I was there. Gonna plan another trip and get in the lake next time. Restroom and shower area were better than I thought it would be so I didn't have to pitch the privacy tent.
