Secluded area

Hard to register without appropriate forms (the post was out of envelopes). Odd amount $16.91 for 1 night made for necessary change. Wish they’d make it whole dollars like Federal campgrounds. Several spots to choose from - all first come first serve. It just might be a gem!

Private, clean, beautiful!

We loved this campground!! It'd be great for tent or RV camping. The sites are really spread out and the facilities are super clean. Almost every site had its own bathroom too. Pretty views of the river from almost all sites!

Great lakefront camping

Really nice area, with well marked campsites. Vault style restrooms. Four dollar gate fee, and $13.79 per night camp fee. A little warm in August, but a great breeze.
