Site #8

Beautiful campground overall. We stayed in site #8 which is secluded. We have a 32’ trailer and thought we could turn around in the site, don’t try that. There is a +/- 30 yard lane you have to back down to get your trailer to the site. The site is not level and is covered with crushed rock instead of smooth gravel. Two of my three kids tripped and fell. The crushed rock is sharp and both kids that fell had several cuts. The reservoir is pretty and close to the site but is covered with moss that reaches from the floor of the reservoir to the surface. This made it nearly impossible to fish. I’m sure it wouldn’t be as bad in the spring. We went in mid-August. Also, be careful of the large boulders inconveniently placed along the road. We almost hit one with our trailer but luckily saw it and hit the brakes. This particular boulder had several large scrapes on it which I’m sure were caused by trailers. Because I have young kids I wouldn’t recommend site #8 due to the crushed rock and poor fishing conditions.
