To Enjoy This Campground You Need A Boat
This campground has some nice campsites with trees and others are just an awning and picnic table!
You need to drive to the water and there is very little rocky coastline to fish!
This is a campground for people with boats!
Small and clean!
We stayed for the Labor Day weekend of 2021 and had a great time! This campground is more suited for boaters than anything else! The restrooms are very clean with only 2 showers! It can get a little annoying waiting in line to shower! The lake/reseviour is down more than 25 feet which makes launching a challenge! There is zero beach for swimming!

A very nice area
This spot is killer! A tad pricey but it’s really oriented towards RV camping so it’s not that surprising.
