Very quiet and calm. Beautiful lake view regardless of the site your at. 4 Stars only because showers could use some cleaning and TLC. Most people here travel with RV so do not necessarily need to use the facilities but just wanted to share.

A very nice, clean, and well run C.O.E. campground. Most sites are elevated with stairs to picnic tables. A favorite for sure!

What's not to like it's beautiful good fishing. One of the better camping grounds around. I would definitely recommend this place if you love nice quiet place. We are or did stay in lot 7 which is next to the lake and if you prefer to be further away from the lake they have spots up higher.

We camped here to watch the 2024 eclipse. Friendly people, beautiful lake, clean bathrooms with toilet paper, and clean showers. The camp site had plenty of space the lay put was nice with the fire pit and grill one one side and a bench on the other.
