Nice, large campground with playground, disk golf, and all water activities. Many sites are waterfront with beautiful sunsets. Grass areas are full of burrs! My dogs could not walk anywhere green without hurting their paws.

Worst experience camping yet! Family trip where we had 3 campsites. Stickers horrible all over the place. 30 Amp hookups that weren't even supplying 30...only 27. Plus most upsetting was the old man camp host that HARRASSED all of us the entire weekend. Rude and unfriendly could say worse but I am a Christian. Will never go back!

2 bath houses. Great shade in the middle and last loop. First loop by the water is definitely lacking and needs trees planted. Area to swim or kayak. #24 has shade all day

No sewer hookups. Stickers (goat heads or sand burs) everywhere!! Playground has swings, a slide and monkey bars and is in sand.. 2 shower houses that are clean but flood the entire bathroom floor, no ventilation. Paved roads throughout. Great sandy beaches for swimming but they are hard to get to. Beautiful views. Very quiet. Good fishing

Not a bad campground but has some room for improvement. The RV spots are on gravel pads and have 30-amp hookups with water at most (if not all) sites but bring extra hose as the spigots are located at the street. The pads are fairly level but did require every bit of our leveling blocks. The sites also have picnic tables, grills and fire pits, along with a stand-up bar. The grounds are covered in grass burrs (sand burrs / sticker burrs) so anyone with pets will want to think twice about using the grassy areas. The facility does have a boat ramp and dock. Hosts are sticklers about off-road vehicles. The grounds do have a few vault toilets, and a bathroom / shower facility. Some site are fairly close together but there are a handful that are pretty isolated. Overall we enjoyed it. Great place for kayaking and relaxing.

great place friendly people

Right now the dock is not accessible because of all the rain but the ramp is easier to maneuver on not like when the lake is down. The camp grounds are clean and the grass is mowed. Overall a great place to fish, boating and/or camping.
