Zero Cool

It’s a decent lake with very few options for day use areas. If you have a boat it’s great but It only has one small area to swim at that’s surrounded by fisherman all day. If the splash zone is closed there are little no options to do anything there.

Very cool are for adults or kids. RV sights were pretty cool and come with a gazebo but they are dry as expected. However the fishing near by is great. Also the water park there is pretty amazing for kids or an adult.

The cover all amenities you need. And it was much nicer than expected.. lounge area's are nicely shaded good food.. the water is tough at first to get into cause it's freezing lol.. but in a hot summer day you'll appreciate it.. overall I'll be back again.

Not bad camp area, but bring your own BBQ, only two sites had BBQ all had fire pits but couldn't have a campfire while we were there, restricted... Fishing left alot to be desired. Caught one lonely carp.... Other campers were friendly. Store near boat launch is closed most of the time, only open on weekends.....
