Great waterfront sites

We stayed in site #5 with a 30’ trailer, there was plenty of room for my truck and trailer in this site. The other sites would be tight with a trailer this size. We had great waterfront access, there is no real beach and the slope into the water is steep. My kids are older so it was not a problem. We only stayed one night as some real pieces of work (being polite) moved in and ran us and another family out. I would go back.

Awesome and close enough to the city

This place is such a fun weekend getaway, it's far enough to get some peace and quiet, yet it is also close enough to where you can be in the mountains with a short drive
