Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

This is the campground you dream of - beautiful old shade trees, lakefront sites (not all are waterfront but all are wonderful) clean baths and sandy shore swimming area - book sites 90, 91 or 92!

Great campground for families or couples

This is one of my favorites.  Most sites have good shade, water sites are great with grassy areas going straight to water.  We always leave our boat or kayaks in water at sites.  Everyone is nice, host are very helpful, campground is clean.  We always look forward to our trip here each year.

Great Marina

We camp at the campground so much that we rent a boat slip here and leave our boat. They have the best prices! The staff are truly great. I wouldn’t trust our boat any where else
