Close to Ferry/Great Views
Not the greatest, but certainly not the worst campground. All first come-first served, with self-checkin. $15/night for rustic, $17/night for electric. We had an electric site, however ours was not working. We were able to plugin to the reverse side amp, and make it work. I left notes on my payment envelope, but they either ignored it, or no one was on-site during our 4th of July visit. There was however, a number to call, had it been a bigger issue.
We had a group of 6, and we took sites 3 & 4 directly ahead as you entered the campground. This area was great, IF you are using both sites
PROS: •Enough space for 3 tents, 3 cars, plus a screened food tent.
•The sites behind us had a line of trees, so it was private and we felt like we had our own little are.
•Lake views through the trees, but just a very short walk down to the shore for fantastic sunset views. It was great to bring some chairs and drinks to enjoy the lake sunsets.
•Directly across from the beach-access drive.
•Directly across from one of three bathrooms.
•Campground is less than 6 miles from the ferry and also close to the “Four Corners” area with a store, restaurants and gas.
•A large sign on the main road made it easy to find, as we arrived in the dark with no GPS.
CONS: •These two sites are not only near the entrance, which can have heavy traffic, but also line the boat launch drive. Constant boats and cars passing by.
•Our sites’ landscaping wasn’t well maintained. Lots of tall grass and weeds throughout both sites.
•Only 1 fire pit for sites 3 & 4 combined.
•The nearby bathroom was by far the worst of the 3 on-site. The men’s was pitch black at all times of the day and I felt like I was going to fall through the floor. We were excited when we found it so close to our site, but we used the others further away. The other bathroom had lights, was maintained and actually locked.
•Of course, the electrical not working was a bummer, but thankfully it worked out.
Walking around during the day, I’d say site 20 might be the best. There were other sites with better water views, directly on the water, but they were flooded and also lacked any privacy. Site 20 had good views and plenty of space, surrounded by trees.
Overall, a nice little campground. Disappointed in a few things, but would likely return.
