Meh, It's fine
Pros: Big sites, room for extra cars, close the recreation especially Detroit Lake, nice camp host, close to town if you need something.
Cons: On. The. Highway! The sound of semi trucks through the night is not peaceful. Bathrooms were ok, not great.
Dry, not very private.
Good campground. The other campgrounds in this area are more forested and that's why this one gets 3 stars. I like trees. However, we were there for the eclipse and I got what I wanted. Nicer vault toilets, blackberry picking, wildlife viewing. Nice open beach area.
