Went with family for a nice little fishing day and it was amazing. The view was beautiful and everyone was very friendly. And mostly the handicapped fishing docks was the best.

The site was nice and the grass area to the side and behind was very large. Of the dozen campers there on arrival 5 had no one around the 5 days there.

Extremely clean and well marked swimming area. It was a wonderful experience for my grandchildren, as well as my husband and I. We have visited many state parks and campgrounds, this was the cleanest one we have visited.

Decent swim area, but outdated facilities. Fortunately, it wasn't crowded late in the day and there's lots of lake to access by kayak. Campground seems RV friendly, but I didn't see any tents. Playground for kids.
