Good water front sites

Site/Surface: 

  • Site 63 was an excellent site with great views and within feet of the water. Surface was nice/flat and plenty of grass for a tent

  • Site 65 was an excellent site with great views and within feet of the water. Surface was nice/flat and plenty of grass for a tent

Cell Service: Verizon was a bit spotty

Shade: Not a ton of shade  during the day, but was overcast when we went

Firerings: Both sites had firerings, with grill grates. 

Onsite Grill: None 

Bathhouse: Bathhouse was close. It was cleaned early in the day and become very gross by the end of the day. 

Playground: Playground was close by, in great shape with a big field to run in.

Campstore: There was a campstore at the front of the park with ice/firewood/etc

Local Activites: Plenty to do at the main park, not a ton of great hiking, but lots of water. The Devil's Racetrack is within 5 minutes and has a beautiful view if you are looking to hike, also a few waterfalls along the way. Small town close by with plenty of supplies.

Overall: Decent ranger prescense during the day. Camground was fairly quiet at night, everyone we met were super friendly and the kids played together. Spot is right on the water and would be great to bring kayaks to or fish from. The worst thing about the campsite is that they didn't take advantage of some of the ridge views available elsewhere in the park.

Great Views!

Site/Surface: Site 19 was an excellent site with great views, site 18 was smaller and not as good. Sites were a mix of grass/dirt/rocks

Shade: Plenty of shade on both sites. 

Firerings: Both sites had firerings, but no grill grates.

Onsite Grill: None

Bathhouse: Bathhouse was close. It was cleaned early in the day and become very gross by the end of the day.

Playground: Playground was in good shape and close by. 

Campstore: There was a campstore, but it was closed when we went in June. There was no camphost either.

Local Activites: The main park is about 15 minutes away and has a great swimming beach and tons of other activities.

Overall: Decent ranger prescense during the day, but nothing at night. Several RVs ran their generators, against the campground rules, which took away from the peacefullness. Camground was fairly loud at night and there were some interesting characters. This spot has amazing views and tons of potential. If they would have a bit more enforcment of no generators, have a camphost it would be a must stay every year.

Excellent grounds!

Awesome sites right on the water, we brought our kayaks and were able to launch directly from the campsite. Nice firepits with grill grates attached. Site had pretty good shade. If tent camping,the electric pole is a bit far, so be sure to bring extra long extension cords. Lake is extermely quiet and calm. Campground was nice and quiet. There is a decent swimming beach with sand. Bathhouses with shower are close and pretty clean. Campstore with friendly staff and was well stocked including ice cream. We went over the 4th of July and were able to view fireworks from another campground across the lake.
