We had lot 36. Plenty of room for activities. Great for tents. Can't wait to come back.

Site 19. The site itself was gorgeous and huge. Plenty of privacy. But it is not big rig friendly. It does not show the half circle drive you have to navigate. We are not amateurs. We are seasoned full timers. Our toy hauler is 40 foot which was supposed to fit in the site. You can’t tell from the pics how steep the drive is but it’s steep. Pulling in while trying to avoid a tree - our rig went up on the side of the drive and literally almost flipped over. Worst experience ever. Virtually no cell service. Appling and the surrounding area is great. Please do your homework when it comes to these sites. Do not take the websites word that your rig will fit.

One of the most beautiful ACOE campgrounds I have ever stayed. Every site but 5 are directly on the water with amazing views. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful! The cleanest campground I have been to. Everyone works hard to care for the campground and the people staying here. Sites are spaced nicely with trees for privacy. Many sites are on the water and give you magnificent views. I was ready to go buy a kayak and spend time on this lake. Our site was in a cove and most days the water was like glass. Hosts and Ranger are friendly and very helpful. Excellent single track bicycle trails and hiking. A great place to visit!!
