We stayed for a beautiful weekend in late September. It’s a big campground with some incredible waterfront sites available on both Big Island and Horse Island. We were further in, at site 87 (I don’t recommend it—it’s next to some kind of water tank that makes a lot of high-pitched noise). Some issues with cleaning the bathroom during the weekend, but things were mostly handled well and we were impressed by the warm shower and the way the campground is addressing COVID.

The beach space is nice with a ton of parking. We rented kayaks ($65 per boat for any type, with paddles and life jackets included) and spent a couple hours paddling around the lake and visiting some of the dozens of small islands and rocks around the lake. With the changing leaves, it was absolutely beautiful. There is a lot available at the camp store (firewood was $6).

I’ve seen a lot of reviews about noise from other campers, but the thing that made me decide we probably wouldn’t go back was the near-constant droning sound of what we guessed was a nearby motorbike track. We listened to engines all day Saturday and again all day Sunday, both from our site and while out kayaking on the lake. Even though we never figured out where it was coming from, it was loud enough to interrupt conversations.
