It's a beautiful little park. Spent a few hours here hiking the trail and checking out the beaches. The campsites seemed quite small and close to each other. The facilities were clean and they had a park store with extremely friendly staff. They also had a playground right beside the water, which was nice.

Very cute campground! 2 small beaches. Perfect depth for small children. Very clean washrooms and showers. 2 playgrounds for the kiddos to play at, one with swing sets plus climbing structure and one with seesaw and climbing structure. Only one hiking trail but a very nice one that takes you along the Shoreline. We saw a turtle and lots of frogs. A great park to ride your bicycles as it's nice and flat. Enjoyed our stay!

My friends and I stayed at the campground for a few nights and had a great experience. The sites were fairly priced although a little small and close to the road in our particular area (104,103). The grounds had a mix of outhouses and bathrooms with lights and running water, as well as hot showers. There are fire pits with flip up grills and a picnic table on every site. The road in and out is a bit wonky but once you get near the sites they are clearly labeled when yours will be. The beach has lots of seating in the shade or by the water and the docks had room to tie off multiple boats.

Sites were well maintained (clean, fire pit, good picnic table) however it was so close to the main road there was an almost constant sound of cars. The beach was nice but sadly there was no water access points for dogs. Unfortunate as it is a dog friendly park. The bathrooms closest to our site were out of order half of the time.

Nice park for night camping or just spending your day along the lake. Specially the picnic place around the lake with muddy beach is great for picnic with kids (gets really crowded on sunny weekends). Toilet access near the beach is good. It has a sandy volleyball court as well. You'll have to pay for day pass (I think $15 if you are not staying overnight). It has nice camp grounds as well encircled with large trees with toilet access. Please beware of the tons of mosquitoes in and around camp grounds and make your life living hell so please carry some bug sprays and after bites. Wish they had more toilets around the camp grounds. You can get ice and some bare minimum snacks as well from the front office at the entrance. All in all, had a nice experience here with my family.

Day 1- and I would definitely say it’s been a good experience so far. We got #47 and it’s very spacious and has enough space for 3 tents. will update soon!

After reading negative reviews regarding noise complaints and people getting ticketed and/or evicted, our group of 15 was nervous about our weekend trip. However we had a great time and had no issues! The campground wardens visited our site early on and treated us with respect, even offering to move our entire group to a secluded further campground - which was amazing. The sites are spacious and far enough away from other sites so physical distance was never an issue. The bathrooms are cleaned multiple times a day and only a short distance from the far campgrounds, but there are also outhouses nearby. The beach is nice and the water very shallow, although there’s no lifeguard it seems to be great for families as well! There’s also ice, firewood, and snacks for sale on site. Overall great experience and we will be back!! Thx Jones 💕
