We have a wonderful day trip here (mid-Aug). Found a spot we could park the jet ski near and had a great day on the water. Also really appreciate Chuck's welcoming personality at the gate! Will definitely be back. ($5/car or $40 for year pass)

Beautiful COE campground. We're in a pull-through full hookup site with strong 50A electric, a 10x15 steel shelter over the picnic table on a patio. Grass could be cut but the current length is allowing wild flowers to bloom.

Wonderful place to camp and just get away for a bit. Staff at the lake were really great. Always smiling and waving. Restrooms were always clean.
Elizabeth Giuliani
Beautiful campground with large sites. We had full hookup. Gorgeous sunrise and sunsets. Deer seen every morning. My downfall was no VERIZON even with our booster so no hotspot. We would have to drive 8 miles into Coleman and use the Chamber of Commerce internet or a restaurant as no mobile service in Coleman. Cannot make a phone call. We stayed two weeks in this beautiful park in a 42ft motorhome.

Don’t Drive out there unless you have like 4 debit cards to swipe. They WONT except your Cash. The card reader has an option for annual pass for 40 bucks but they don’t even have them. Card ready would not read any of our card. They will not let you in and you have to leave the lake. DONT WASTE YOUR GAS.
