Great camping spot

The spaces are paved with a fire ring, covered picnic table and a lamp post. There’s also what looks like a fish cleaning station, as this site is also a great place to fish from. Love the views!

Wow

I LOVE this campground. So many Great Lake spots to choose from. There a cute little playground and very peaceful. Definitely a hidden gem. When you go down the road that enters the campground you feel as you are going the wrong way. You’re not, keep going. December was the perfect time to visit.

Very pleasant and relaxing.

We have camped here several times.  The grounds are well kept, and the campground hosts are very friendly and helpful.  The sites are paved and clean.  Although the showers and restrooms could use some maintenance, they were clean and usable.  We have stayed in sites 10 and 33.  The covered picnic tables are great especially when it's raining and windy.  Our granddaughter loved the playground.  There are water and electrical hookups at each site, but no sewer.

Our favorite home away from home

This camp ground is very well kept. All of the host and hostess are very friendly. This peaceful piece of tranquility is perfect for not only families and large groups but also for couples. Pet friendly!!! We have been here once a month for the last 5 months just to get away.  The boat ramp and pier are very nice also. There are so many different areas to choose from at this camp ground. We have tried several different spots and area each time. Everyone just as perfect as the last. This is our go-to camp ground.

lake view site

We enjoyed our night in the quiet lake view campsite at Sandy Creek. The park was not very busy during our stay. It seemed that even if the park would have been full our site still would have felt quite secluded. Observed a few people that seemed to be doing bird watching.
