Boating, water skiing, fishing and swimming are popular activities, all located steps from the campsites. A hiking trail passes through the site as well.

Jarvies offers eight single-family sites, all of which are reservable. Each site has a picnic shelter, table, tent pad and campfire ring with grill. One vault toilet is provided.

A private dock is down a short hill on the shoreline.

Enjoyed our stay- They never leave enough toilet paper in the bathroom, every time we have camped here it runs out by the time we leave. I think boaters must stop and use that bathroom rather then just the people with reservations as intended..

We have stayed here several times before, the sites were clean and well cared for. The docks were stable and positioned well. It was a nice trip.
