This is a really nice campground, right on the lake. Spacious sites, beautiful scenery, and clean facilities.

We didn't have a great experience here and I would not visit again. The campground is pretty rundown and not very nice to look at. It's way overpriced for what it is. At 5 or 6 am, we were woken up by someone yelling into a megaphone from a boat on the lake (not sure what they were doing, but it was loud) and prior to that we were woken up in the middle of the night by some turkeys who were surrounding our tent and causing a ruckus. In the morning we saw several more turkeys in the campground. We were camping in a tent and almost everyone else we saw was in an RV so if you'll be in a tent you might feel a little out of place here. The lake is pretty but you can't swim in it. The bathrooms do have showers which is nice but they were not the cleanest. Overall, this just isn't a very nice campground and I would find something better if you can.

One of worst camping experiences we've ever had. Sewage was backed up at our site. We spent hours trying to fix, then the gate staff attempted to fix. We were offered another site, but after dealing with a sewage back up all afternoon, we were tired of the whole situation (and disgusted) and wanted to go home. The site next to us didn't have any power. The staff was kind, the 1 star is for him, and understood our frustration and told us we could get a refund. We sent in the request paperwork and got denied by park and rec management. Todd, the manager was argumentative, turned it into a "he said she said" and refused to provide us any sort of refund. Terrible handling, terrible customer service, disappointing this is government workers at their finest. We will never stay here and don't recommend it. There are plenty of other wonderful, beautiful state campgrounds out there folks! This isn't the one to waste time at.
