Very kid friendly went twice and there were a bunch of kids my daughter loved playing with. Saw no leaches

I really do enjoy camping here at this spot. It's nice because it's close. But this year was a bit unsatisfying. The place was dirty with little bits of trash everywhere. No one followed any of the rules, and it was loud until 3 am

Well nobody was there but my wife and I launched our kayaks from here and did some fishing. Loved it and will go back again.

The camp was good and the lake was beautiful, but there was someone next to us that came at 1am and ran a generator for an hour which was very noisy and we could not sleep so we needed to move in the middle of the night. Camp could make the signs that generators are forbidden during the night more visible.

Love it. Great place to swim and paddle around. Clean and easy to keep an eye on all the kids.
