Beautiful campsite but...
The campsite overall is beautiful and the land is well kept. The reason for the review is due to the bathrooms being horrible. Hot water for showers did not work and floors were nasty, need to be remodeled. There is no water near any of the sites. 2 of the 3 hosts I dealt with were very rude. The one on the late night shift was very nice and knowledgeable. The other guys who helped me on arrival act as if they didn't want to be there. The site overall is amazing. Just wouldn't ever camp here again due to the high price and the bathrooms being Terrible.
Instant camping
Hidden in the woods by the lake and a very short trip from home. No complaints
Not worth the price
Good if you want to be close to the city but otherwise it’s not very worth it. The spots are small and it’s very crowded.
