Waterfront camping

Large County campground with electric and water with two pump out stations. spacious, hilly sites with some tree coverage along lake with boat ramp and capacity to tie your boat up at your site.

Recommend a surge protector on your camper as there are no breakers on the electric hook up at the site (clustered elsewhere).

Stayed here for a National water dog competition and the beach area was perfect for our group.
