Peaceful Getaway

Beautiful campground, very clean and well maintained. Vault toilets are some of the cleanest I've used. You can hear the coyotes and raccoons, but the coyotes were never spotted. Make sure any and all food/garbage is picked up and thrown out each night to avoid unwanted visitors (we lost a bag of hot dog buns to some raccoons, our fault). Fishing was great, lots of blue gill and bass.

Clean well maintained campground, quite a few private spots

We’ve stayed here twice this summer. The toilets are well maintained and the camp manager was super nice. We stayed Sunday-Tuesday both times and it wasn’t busy and we felt alone in the forest which is perfect. There’s a few trails near the lake which made for lots of exploring.

Great spot

Nice and spaced out sites with easy access to a beautiful lake, friendly and helpful management, and well taken care of vault bathrooms. Pricing isn’t bad either.
