Zero complaints at all!

We actually left another campground on the lake we had already paid for to come here because it was exactly what we were looking for! Complete privacy between trees and underbrush, no road noise, walking trails, flushing toilets and beach access where we felt comfortable leaving our SUPs tied for two days. I almost don’t want to review and just keep it all for myself, but you’ll thank me later!
