Maiden voyage in our csmoer

Fantastic level campsite. It was our maiden voyage and we had a great time. Very clean bath houses and we could run to fairly nearby stores to grab stuff we needed.

Wow!

We’ve been to this campground three times already. Love it. We had a site right on the lake. Did fishing, kids went swimming! Beautiful opening your door and seeing water. Sites pretty level. Restroom was clean and good size showers. Had laundry. Had a great time!
