If you’re looking to tube or ski, Better move it along. Also there are signs about not swimming due to toxic algae so that’s a bit eerie too.

Seems well managed. I visited to check out the bike trails. They need some attention. There were a lot of branches everywhere. Maybe I will volunteer 😉 some time.

It's a little Drive North of town. But the lake is beautiful and for $20 I can't think of a better place to park for the night the bathrooms are not really great but they're fine for showering and using. And the host is a super nice guy and available to help with any issues

LOVE THIS PLACE. The camp host is the best one we've ever had at ANY campground.

The camp host Randy is awesome. My family and I came out from California and spent a week there. Can't wait to go back again next year
