The Quiet Campground

This campsite was very quiet with little to no traffic sounds. The host was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the spacious camp site and the trees that shaded our site. The bathrooms were also nice and clean with four showers inside.

Nice campground and beach!

We had a very nice time here. Everything was very clean. We camped on top of a hill from the lake in an RV site and with being completely surrounded by neighbors, we had enough space not to feel crowded. You could not easily hear your neighbors conversations. We almost stayed an extra night and had we not booked somewhere else ahead of time we would have! Nice spot.
