Decent place

Staff as always been very friendly, sites are very spacious, there are trails for hiking, a playground and a beach. Only negatives are no showers and not much shade unless you get a site on the edge of the woods

Simple rural camping

Not much to do on site if you don’t have a boat. Swimming on site. Nearby there are historic sites and lots of hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking at Green River Lake State Park.

Yay: nice big campsites

Nay: All the RV sites are extremely open so there’s no shade or privacy, but everyone has the same lovely view. Just a few sites are among the trees at the edge of the forest but further from the water.

Surprise: head into town for some adorable diners...forget the name but the caretaker will know.
