Really nice campground. We come back every year and love it. It's shady, great views of the lake and sunsets.

Love, love, LOVE!! IT WAS AWESOME! The only thing I recommend is bringing some sanitizing wipes and water shoes (so you don't shower barefooted) for the bathroom!

This campground is awesome! There's plenty of space between sites, fire pits, grills, picnic tables, very shaded, and you can see the water from every direction. All sites have water and electricity. The bathrooms and showers were nice, clean, and had air conditioning. The restaurant had good food, and they have a very convenient little store if you forget anything. I would definitely suggest bringing your own firewood! It's hard to find any in the area and the small expensive bundle they do sell is so green it didn't burn very well. They were very kid friendly and I would definitely recommend this campground!
