We reserved the family site F015. To have extra room since we had kids with us. The site itself is very large and it borders a field. The field has plenty of room to run and play badminton. The site pad is unlevel and has every bit of a 10 inch drop on the smaller pad. Be sure to bring levelers. (we noticed several sites were extremely unlevel. Closer to the bathhouse in the 30 amp) also on the smaller pad the weeds go all the way up to the fire pit, but since we had the secondary spot, it wasn’t a big deal for us. The larger pad does have asphalt down, but it has several areas that is badly damaged. Right outside the Rv door is anywhere from a 6 inch to a 4 inch drop. Which is a fall hazard with children. Overall, we would recommend the sites just for the extra room. The bathrooms were nice and clean. The vault toilets were disgusting. Both of these sites have cigarette butts everywhere. It looks like several years worth or a heavy smoker. Stayed here for a long time. Swimming- the swimming area is not close to the campground at all. Although you can get to the lake easily from the campground, that spots is all mud and not accessible to swim. You would have to either drive or walk a long ways to...
