Great Quiet spot

We stayed Monday and Tuesday night and it was very quiet. Great and friendly host. Sites are nice a spread out so you’re not right on top of each other. The campground is clean but my only complaint is the amount of litter at the boat ramp. There is a dumpster there and yet no one used it. 3 bars of 5G for Verison and T-Mobile.

Great spot

50 amp, water, sewer dump station on the way out, concrete pad, picnic table under the shade tree, fire pit, 5g T-Mobile cell service. Trees need to be trimed from the campground, you will get your rig scratched. We have a 40 foot fifthwheel and was able to find several sites that would work fot sat dish. Sites are not on top of each other. Lots of places for walks and the boat launch is just down the hill. We will stay here again, just hope they trim the trees.

Great park for the RV person enjoying water or horses

This is a great park for the RV person; there is nothing out of the ordinary but there is easy access to the lake for all sorts of water sports and a marina is available. There is an ADA fishing dock on the lake and equestrian horse trails are available for the traveling horse owners. Other services can be found within a thirty minute drive. It can get hot during the summer months and ticks can be bad when getting out of established areas and off of the trails.
