Horrible experience. The worst service I've ever had to deal with at any campground ever. So rude and disrespectful. Wow. Im appalled.

Found it very difficult to book a site. Called and no answer. Office was closed upon arrival. Went back the second day and they refused to rent a site with power for a tent. To clarify, they had sites open with electric, but would not rent them. This place seems like an absolute nightmare to camp at with the rule police.

We had a seasonal site for 5 years. Love the Lake, the pool, and the sites aren't crowded together. We live here from May 1 to October 1 when they close for the season. The bathhouse are clean. They have on-site laundry.

Lucius Kennedy
Very clean. They don’t tend to get a lot of tenters so we practically had the entire tent area to ourselves. There were 3 of us and a dog. We brought 2 vehicles and paid $40 + tax. Per night. So prices are good.I definitely recommend.
