Just crashed here for the night and it was lovely! I was surprised but the showers and flushing toilets, made the stay that much nicer! Great seating in each site, a good campfire area, and the stars were beautiful! Couldn't swim cause of the algae but you can drive right up to the water. Very neat spot.

Beautiful location. Quiet and end of the road privacy. Be aware that every site is right next to another...all double sites. If you don't know your neighbor when you arrive you will when you leave.

The area is great. The campground is odd. They have two sites together with a big rocklike barrier between the tables which would completely block the view from one table. On the other hand, there were only three campsites being used in the whole campground so even though we had a blocked view campsite we used the other side, ready to move if need be, but never had to. There was also only one boat out on the water which was small but big enough for water skiing.
