Campsite driveways are very small when it says they can handle a 30ft or 40ft sizes camp trailer take roughly 5-10ft off that. Sleeping areas for tents are way away from actual camp site table and fire rings on most sites that wwe saw. Also the fur trees covering the area seep sap all over just be aware. And lake access is limited and due to the lake level being very low its a good walk down to it.

Super nice campground! Stayed in campsite 29 and it was pretty big for two tents to be put up and a third could have fit as well. The lake is very nice. It’s not too cold and not too warm so you can actually enjoy swimming in it! The bathrooms where very clean and didn’t smell bad which was also a plus in my books. The only downside for the campsites is there is poison oak everywhere so if you have any little ones don’t let them play in the bushes or plants, if you can, and you’ll be good. The campsite is a little spendy but I would say it’s pretty worth it if you’re staying for a few days.

Lovely lake for boating, skiing, and swimming! Beautiful scenery! Parking for cars or campers at the camp sites, which tend to be steep, is very cramped on the narrow ring road. Tent sites are not entirely level! Running water is placed at decent intervals, and tastes good. However, although campers are encouraged not to wash dishes or otherwise contaminate these sites, waste water disposal drains are not at all close to the running water. I cannot imagine that, therefore, campers don't routinely use them in conflict with the signage. Otherwise you have to tote both your waste water and your clean rinse water quite a distance. Pit toilets are clean and inoffensive. However there aren't many, and you'd best have your own light source by dusk!

A really great campground! Seriously the cleanest and best smelling pit bathrooms I've ever been in, very well kept! It was beautiful and amazing for the price.

You pay $20 to date (June 2021) for each campsite. Host was very welcoming and attentive. Bathrooms were the cleanest I've experienced at a campground/recently cleaned. And the site we stayed at was well taken care of.

Absolutely amazing campground!!! The hostess is seriously the most amazing and awesome part about the campground. She was so friendly, courteous, helpful, HAPPY, informative and amazing! Seriously she made us all feel right at home like we are a part of her big extended family! We really appreciate her and we are going to be going back in a few weeks mostly because of her and the campground is the other part. It is a wonderful campground with lovely campsites and beautiful views of the reservoir. Theres so much to do there!

We went for a family reunion and reserved a whole loop. The host was nice enough to block it off for us so nobody could drive through as we had a lot of kids running around. They were also super on point about taking the trash and keeping the grounds clean Bathrooms were spotless! And they're pit toilets so that's saying something. It's right on the lake, has a nice cement boat dock and swimming area however when the lake is low the swimming area becomes obsolete and everyone just swims off the boat ramp. There is also a canoe/kayak area down the road (you'll want to drive) which is a smaller lake and great for swimming as well. Campsites are typical. Picnic bench, metal firepit and a flat ground tent area or RV parking spot. There is decent foliage between some sites for privacy and also a group camp. Tent campers take note, this campground is RV heavy in the summer with lots of big rigs and boats parked around and there doesn't seem to be designated loops for each so you may have some big noisy machines parked next to your camp. Also, it is so hard to find this place! Absolutely no signage on the main roads and no/spotty cell service depending on your carrier so make sure you know where you're going. If you need ice or fishing gear, go to Dinks! They're right outside camp and the nicest people you'll meet. Plus, their ice is cheaper than in town.
