Very nice overall

Nice view of lake when site across the lane isn't occupied. Restrooms/ showers cleaned and relatively maintained (1 shower curtain missing) , debris free paved lanes to all sites. Spot 80 had good afternoon shade. Trees block heavy winds from north and west. Fire pit may fill 1/2 way from heavy rain/ ground water.

What a view!

All RV sites have a lake view. Full hook ups. State Park has a Ranger to check you in and gate is closed 10:30pm-7am. Reservations must be made online, set up user name, confirm thru your email and if your cell service is poor it can be tricky but well worth the work.
