Easy booking. Easy check in. Roads getting into park were narrow. But worth the trip. The campground is very clean. Easy hookup for electric and water. Except there was someone plugged into our electric when we got there. It was for a boat that belonged to campers up the road that didn’t have lake front. Other than that this place is awesome. We plan to come back when we can stay longer.

RangerLove this place!
Nice campground right on the lake. Family friendly, lots of children on their scooters. Many campers had boats for lake recreation. Some sites can be hard to back into, especially #39 where I broke the stabilizer jack on the railroad tie campsite border. Recommend the sites on the water, with the exception of #22 & 23 which also looked very difficult to get into. Downside of the water sites is that most have very little shade. Bathrooms are decent, and handicap accessible. Shower water was lukewarm at best but it was so hot that wasn’t an issue. Did find a few ticks, but mosquitos were surprisingly scarce.

Pros: Quiet, On the lake
Cons: on site bathrooms and showers were dirty, we’re not very thrilled we had our dogs. Sites are pretty close.
