Not Real Camping

These are maintained spots more or less in a field behind a neighborhood. I made a reservation based upon the pictures, we didn’t even bother to stay. If you are literally only after a place to sleep I guess it’s fine. Other than that I would not recommend. The host wasn’t the nicest either, the spots are marked on a 4x4 with a 6” long piece of paper on them…I was looking for our spot and pulled into a loop that was reserved nobody was occupying it currently & the host jumped my ass when I turned around. His whole demeanor changed when I told him I had a reservation. Between the host & camping in someone’s field I left. Paid $28, such a waste.

Quiet campground, but nothing special

Campground is nothing special and doesn't really have a great view of the lake despite its name. It is however cheap, well located, there were more then enough walk up spaces and the vault toilets were very clean 👍🏻
