It was an absolute beautiful campground. It was the last stop on our month long, cross country, 5300 mile trip. It’s clean and easily accessible. My only “complaint” and it’s hardly worth mentioning was the site was quite uneven but I’m prepared for that so no issue.

This was our second visit. We stay on the waterfront with no utilities. We were able to use our small inflatable boat from our site. We did not go into the restroom so I can't give a review on the cleanliness. Our Version hotspot worked great. There is a beach for campers. The lake level was low.

Camp here often in summer. Only 2 complaints. The toilet at C loop is always awful. The bathhouses need cleaning better and need more electric hookups. Random primitive sites kinda suck when the ones next to them have electric.
