Beautiful lakeside campground

First all sites are just electric. I filled up my tank at home and recommend you do as well. They have places to fill up water but it’s not necessarily convenient to do so when the campground is full. I like the electric only sites.

Great Family Campground!

Great for family camping! It has a swimming area and bath houses. It has electricity at every site. The only downside is water can be a couple hundred feet from some sites. I had to borrow drinking water hose to fill up my tanks.
