Great site, super friendly staff, easy access . Yep, has it all

Staff was superb with a last minute booking. We arrived after closing but they saw us coming in and checked that we were good. That was SO nice when coming in the dark and dog tired. Sites are large, well spaced and on the lake. Wi-Fi not bad, campground less than 10 minutes off interstate yet super quiet, no road noise. I’d post pictures but every time I try I get kicked out and half to start over.

Very spacious, private, mostly waterfront sites

Some sites were difficult to navigate into with our 40’ travel trailer. Even the dump station was tight. Need to repair washed out sections of shoulders on the roads in some spots. No sewer, but 50amp electric and water.

Beautiful sites

Large level sites, well laid out. Absolutely gorgeous views of the lake at many of the sites as they are right in the shore. Sites are very private with plenty of space in between. You can anchor your boat at alot of the sites. Very fisherman friendly.
