This simple lakeside campground offers basic amenities including hot showers and lake access for fishing and boating. Guests commonly noted the peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere with partially shaded sites along the water. While not a major destination, visitors found it suitable for its intended purpose.

A very quiet few days

Stayed for 5 days in my vintage rv. Hardly saw anyone else and the dogs enjoyed the walks. Only problem was after two nights heavy rain, my rv sank in the soft ground. But the site manager was great and brought a tractor to tow me out. Highly recommended.

Simple sites

This is a very simple little campground, but has good amenities like hot showers. We stayed here to go to the wildlife refuge nearby. The main attraction on site is a lake for boating and fishing, which we didn’t end up using. Sites are partially shady, fairly open, but right along the lake. Not a major attraction park, but good for what it is!
