Very nice campground. Love that it’s so easy to get to the boat landing! The beach area could be cleaned up so children can go swimming

The bad first. A lot of storm damage made areas questionable and borderline dangerous with a lot of broken branches and widow makers in the trees. The beach and mooring area is a joke with weeds making them completely choked out and unusable. No place to land your boat or tie it up. The campground outhouses are atrocious. Old and need replacing. The loop is/was too small to accommodate large RVs. Maybe now with the extreme weather damage around it, they will actually expand it to make it easier for larger RVs to get through. The good. Quiet campground. Large sites. The campground host, Cheryl is friendly and helpful.

Cheryl the host is friendly and helpful. But, the campground itself is very poor, outdated and in desperate need of renovations. The loop at the end needs to be completely removed and replaced. RVs aren’t easily getting around it if they are more than 25 feet, and pretty much impossible for 30 or larger. We had to bypass it, go straight into the beach parking and back into the loop very carefully just to turn around our 32 foot 5th wheel. The beach and mooring area are useless and jokes. That entire shoreline is covered in overgrown weeds. Completely unusable. The campground outhouses are awful.
