This was a beautiful site for tent camping! It's close the water, has a large tent pad, is clean and well kept, and your parking spot is right there for easy access to your vehicle. The bathrooms are extremely clean and they even have warming lights on the ceiling!

This site was beautiful, extremely clean, and well kept. I love how close it is to the water and gow large the tent pads are! My only dislike is that all the fire pits are dug extremely low, so you really have to build up a big fire to actually enjoy one. I assume they do that for the season, but I'm not sure. The campground feels very safe, and I was extremely impressed with how clean the bathrooms are!

The staff now operating there far exceeded the expectations and impression that we’d had before when visiting. They were cheerful, inviting, and outgoing in their mannerisms and detail to their work. Check-in was easy and accessible. The campground facilities were well maintained and clean. They even went out of their way to check up on us electronically to be sure that we were okay when we had been away several hours one day. That was kind and we were appreciative. This current crew is priceless, make sure you don’t loose them, they’re a good asset to your site.
