Accessible, shady, and near sights to see

While they were working on adding a bath house with toilets the campground is at the local golf course to use. 30 amp and water only. Gravel pads, mostly level. Shade and quiet in pm. During day you have golfers but not enough to bother you. A pavilion is available for use. Good area close to stores, fuel and off-site dump station.

Camp with lots of activities

When we saw a campground connected to a golf course we had to check it out. Driving through town was a surprise. We saw a large theater with some upcoming musical events. Once at the city park we found more unexpected goodness. There is a pool and a very large playground. A frisbee golf course is tucked in next to the lake. The golf course is next- just keep winding along the road to get to the office.

The campground itself is right next to the golf course parking area. A picnic pavilion is central and the sites spread out around it. Sites have electric with water available. There is some shade from wonderfully tall trees but nothing separates you from the other campers(or golfers). We felt a bit on display.

This place could be a perfect setup for a family with the variety of activities present.
