Loved the campground. Very clean and quiet. All the sites that I saw have electric, fire pits and picnic tables. Trees for shade. The women's bathroom was very clean. Two showers stalls, also clean and kept up. Big playground for kids. A big covered patio with picnic tables for a large gathering. 5 rental cabins that sleep up to six people. The only bummer was we didn't know that 3 Mile Lake that is attached to the campground was drained in 2016. DNR has ongoing construction throughout the lake. We were not able to get on the lake from the boat docks. To low. If you plan on fishing this lake, call before you go to find out if it's accessible for fishing. We decided to head towards 12 Mile Lake to fish. That was about 6 miles away.
