Childhood vacation home to my husband who is now 67. We just visited yesterday, and found out that the owners are still the same family. If that doesn't say something! I was in awe seeing my husband speaking to them and talking about old times. And here we are now, renting a cabin on the lake. It really does my heart good seeing him so at peace.

Lot spaces were small and there are alot of "permanent" rvs. Some quite rundown. The hill is a killer, so you need to rent a golf cart. Our folding e-bikes couldn't cut the hill or the poor road conditions. Lake access is across the road.....again down the hill. Showers were clean but far apart. Staff was friendly and camp store was well stocked with fair prices. We stayed at one of only 3 "lower" spots.

Really cute campground. It is on a hill, but the sites are level. Bathrooms/showers are clean, friendly staff, and well stocked camp store. Right across from the lake with lake access. We will return here!
