Nice, shady spots with electric and water. It’s very quiet. For $18, can’t beat it. 

Clean campground, nice and quiet!   Littlw disappointed with no true waterfront access.  

Nice and quiet!

Our second time staying here. The price is right especially with the Golden Age pass. Frequent Ranger patrol. Friendly. Some display of firearms in the area, not at park.

Shady and close to towns.
