Site 32. Nice and wide and level. Paved with electric only. Nice campground overall. Easy to find and navigate through.
Dennis Bierman
A great campground, a nice variety of campsites. We stayed at site 35, a lakeside site with a great view of the lake. One item to consider is the wind. Many sites will have periods of strong wind, but the views of sunset cannot be beat. You will have great access for fishing, launching boats, or use of the sailboat marina. The staff were very friendly as well. We will be back.

Great place to launch a boat and fish. Beautiful campgrounds and perfect place for a sunset.

Very nice campground. Sites are all paved with most having a great view of the lake. Shower house was very clean.

Had a great time here! Good campground near the water with plenty of sites. Cheap full hookup sites, bathrooms available throughout the campground, showers and clothes washing area. The boat ramp is located near campground entrance. Sites are well maintained with fire rings and picnic tables. For the most part all of them have good distance from eachother. No beaches here, the shore is very rocky but you can still swim. If you camp on the bay area you can swim across the channel to the Sand beaches. The water is deep on the shore of the campground and it gets very shallow less than half way across. The lake side campsites have great views of the lake, so book these early to get a good spot. Bugs are pretty crazy here so make sure to bring bug spray and a bug repellant candle. I had a great time campping here and would highly recommend!!
