We've been to a lot of places, and this is one of my favorites. The campground set up is beautiful with the fingers that go out into the lake.

Flooded this year (2025). Camp host is friendly. Playground is flooded but my kids love it like that!

Best darn place to fish in a boat with your young child on their first day of fishing with mom/dad.
