Feels remote yet easy access off 395

General: 41 designated reservable camping spots with a mix of dry camping and W/E hookups plus three first-come, first-available primitive sites (these are lakefront and accessed via a dirt road). 

Site Quality: Camper pads were all gravel. Sites 1-20 were lakefront dry camping spots, but you had to imagine the lakefront from most of these as the water level appeared very low. They were separated by metal pipes so not much privacy between them. Site 20 was slightly sloped but by parking parallel, we made it work in our campervan. These were still the best spots IMO. Sites 36-41 are also dry camping spots, but they were all gravel with a water spigot and no separation. While these were closest to the restrooms, they did not seem very appealing. Sites 21-35 have water and electric. Most of these would require parallel parking unless you have a smaller RV. 

Bath/Shower House: Men’s and Women’s restrooms plus individual bath/shower units. It was way too cold when we were there to use the shower so cannot comment on that but the restrooms were clean and had soap and an air dryer (plus toilet seat covers, something I rarely see in a campground bathroom). 

Activities: Boating, fishing. There is a boat ramp and a fish cleaning station. There was also corn hole (bring your own bags) and horseshoes (bring your own) plus a nice playground. 

This was a five-star stay for us since there were only about a half-dozen sites occupied. We had the entire lakefront section to ourselves. There was no staff or host on site when we were there. I don’t think I would like it as much when in season (but that is strictly a personal preference).

Good place for an overnight stop on road trip

Stopped for one night on a road trip. The campground was nearly empty. The sites were nice with a picnic table and fire ring.

AT&T service was decent.
