Peaceful and calm fishing place, but it needs to be maintained better.. unfortunately.

Place is decent for fishing. Too bad all the doc is closed off for fixing. You can do bank fishing but not easy and also dangerous to walk on those rocks. Parking is not free.

They need to enforce speed for boaters. We can't fish for shit if the boater purposely comes close to splash us for no reason.

Camp host is a grouchy lazy old lady. That wouldn't open the gate to turn my truck and trailer around in the recreational vehicle turn around. All because she didn't want to walk to the gate she locked a couple hours before. (This is at noon on a sunday) not like the park was closing. Had to jacknife my truck and trailer to get out. She was very unhelpful and extremely rude. Wasted my time and money. All because the camp host sucks
