Relaxing, well kept campground

We absolutely loved this campsite(#45) it was our first time there. We did a last minute trip from Orlando, Fl and it was great. We showed up late Friday, 30 min before closing. They had a sign on the window with the number to inform the tenant and the option to purchase firewood. We only got one afternoon but the view was worth it! Sunset at this site was amazing. We had a couple hammocks up, our tent and had a fire going both days. The campgrounds are clean, and well maintained. We had lake access at our site which was nice for cooling off or swimming. Next time we come, we will make to bring a fishing pole and some tubes to float in the water. Weather was awesome, 75-78 during the day, 63-68 at night. Use google to find the campground, Apple led us 8 miles into a different campground. Overall this camp ground is great.

Great Quiet Campground

We camped here just as the COVID shutdowns were beginning back March. There were only a few campers. We were right on the water. Large clean sites. Great campground. It was a cool early spring evening. We had a nice campfire and enjoyed a nice time.
