We went and checked out the campground. It has power and water on sites. Most of the sites are pull through. Decent sites. We like the campground. Plan on staying here for a few weekends.

Great campground. Large spacious lots and it appears most of the lots are on the lake. Pause water and electricity at all the sites. Not sure about grey or black water dumping as I was tent camping and it appeared that this part of the facility did not work. But plenty of bathrooms and bath houses. There's also a playground located here. And dogs are welcome.

Great spaces with RV hookups clean ,nice playground. Only down fall the lake got pulled down so low the beach area wasn't good for swimming . The staff very friendly

Nice quiet campground. Sites are very large and spacious. Comfort stations are dated but very clean. We enjoyed our time here. Update May 2022: We've been to this campground 4x now, it's a great place!

Sites along the lake are beautiful, perfectly flat (good for tents and RVs), and feet from the water. The swimming beaches are small, but with nice sand. Overall a quiet and relaxing camp grounds. Only reason I didn't give five stars were the bath house, which was old and showers sprayed with pressure that could strip your skin.

I really enjoy the multi use trail for mountain biking! I would say it's a beginner to intermediate level ride. It is a loop of about 5 miles or about 7 miles of you add the extra ridge trail. It's very quiet with few riders and lots of wildlife.

We are blessed to have people like Tammy and Kent over seeing Paynes Creek.. they are very helpful, they are The nicest people to deal with, we really like these two. The camp ground was in very good shape.. My only wish is that the county would upgrade and remodel the shower and rest rooms.. !!!
