The campground is gorgeous. The camping neighbors are amazing. BUT ITS LIKE YOU ARE IN AN HOA with the camping host lady.

Nearby gas stations helped when we needed extras and the park staff seemed knowledgeable about the area and directed us to where to get...

Since we were there mid-week, it was very quiet! I used the restroom next to the dump station and it was fairly clean. There is a small playground with a few swings, but it could use some sprucing up! We walked up to their little “light house” for some pretty views of the lake and walked on a near-by, paved trail. I would definitely come back here if we are ever in the area again. It’s a...
