Great lake! wonderful camp ground! We try to get to this spot every year! This spot fills up quick, and sometimes weather can be bad, being on the east side of the lake... however we try to stay every year! Beautiful sunsets! Stay away from the RV park on the west side.

Great campgrounds if you have an RV. We brought a tent and had no shade on our area. We ended up having to leave early because of the heat and sun exaustion and sun burn. Yes we had water and reapplied sunscreen frequently It was not very tent friendly. However the campgrounds were nice and clean the beach was nice only writing this to warn other people who want to kick it old school this summer and tent it up otherwise it was great
