Nice quiet, maintained campground

Small cute little campground. Only 12 electrical spots. No full hookup spots. There is no campground host but campers have always been respectful when I have been camping there. Updated shower/bathroom house is clean. DNR sells firewood on Fridays and Saturdays. There is lots to do, trails, kayaking, fishing, playground and picnic areas also.
