Love it here!

This is a great place to stop and breathe for a while while on the road. Especially with kids.

Has great hook up sites (electric and water) beach site comes with a sweet outdoor patio with roof and picnic table - perfect for shade or rainy days.when living in an RV this is a great addition/ an extra room!

There is a great playground and a perfect view of the lake

Prices are totally fair - between 14-25 depending on site and residency

Peaceful Lakeside Camping

Made the reservation online. $14/night for a leveled site with covered table, fire pit and a water spigot. Had a great night. Felt very safe and noise was minimal. Would definitely stay again when in the area.
