We've been coming for years and this year brought 3 other families. Amazing lake and campground. Clean bathrooms, showers and grounds. Loved seeing all the deer and babies.

This was a great, quiet place to stay. The guy who checked me in at the booth was super helpful and friendly. I stayed in site 72....truly the best spot....great views! Showers were decent...could use a cleaning....but the water was hot.
