Love this place!

Have been camping here several times and I still always enjoy it! The fishing is great- lots of bluegill!! Will catch on almost every throw! Great for taking kids fishing. You get a pier at your campsite to tie your boat up at. Nice area for swimming and even has a good hike! Campsites are very private and pretty big. Each campsite has its own picnic table and fire ring. The bathrooms and very clean and not a far walk. Not very buggy.
