Beautiful campground! Quiet spot 350 right on the lake.

Very clean and maintained park. Workers were renovating a cabin there as I drove around. Took some pics of boat ramp area and cabins, as this was my first time here.

The facilities at the state park were very nice, clean, and well maintained. Access to the water was simple and easy. The fishing wasn't too good but it was our first time on the lake. Great experience, we will be back again.

Beautiful state park with well equipped cabins. Both the standard and deluxe cabins are great. The standard cabins are a bit rustic, but the deluxe cabins are modern and feel like you're staying in a private house. The park is well maintained and has a great waterfront. While there is wi-fi, it's not available throughout the whole park, and cell service can be spotty.

My boyfriend and I stayed for 2 nights in cabin 1 last week. The inside of the cabin was beautiful. We loved the vaulted ceiling and all the wood. We were amazed that the cabin came equipped with cable t.v. and many other little things that made the stay so much nicer, such as the extra linens and coffee pot. The campgrounds were beautifully kept and check-in and out was the easiest experience! We plan on staying again in the future.
