Nice quiet camp ground just a walk away from the only swimming beach. Water was advertised for RV camping but not that you would be sharing it with your neighbor and have to have a 100 ft hose.

Perfect beach area for your kids and the water is shallow for little ones. We absolutely loved it! Clean and not very busy.

The weather was nice and #10 has shade The down side was the ladies bathroom shower drain was plugged to the point my sandals floating in the standing water, yuck. The site had quite a bit of litter and cigarette butts everywhere. The fire ring was used as burn pile.

Ants were horrendously out of control, glass all over our 3 sites and the rules for how many tents and an rv are not the same reserving a site as they are posted so that caused issues upon arrival. All of this plus one of the rudest hosts I've ever run across. After berating us about our tents proceeds to back into one of our cars denting in the intire back door and laughed about it. I do not plan on spending anymore time at this site in the future.

This is a beautiful, quiet escape. Gorgeous little campground. Several small towns within a reasonable driving distance for supplies. Nice swimming area right around the corner. Enjoyed just chilling. Definately on my radar for a return trip to check out the fishing.
