The lake was lovely in the evening and the campground was quiet and easy to access.

Very nice primitive sites. Very quiet even with the highway not too far away. Lots of space between sites. Very large sites. Most will hold a 40+ rig without a problem. Internet is sketchy.

Spacious campsite, not too close to other campers. Several vault toilets within walking distance. Dumpster was easily accessible from my campsite. Lots of trees for shade.

Sites were pretty nice. We were pleasantly surprised to find there was a flip-up grill on the fire pit even though the website said there wouldn't be one. However, the fire pit looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a month, and the night we had rain meant inches of wet ash to deal with in the morning. The water was gross brown - even if it's "safe" the color would keep anyone from wanting to drink it. Thankfully we found the artesian well in Ashland. Also the only path from our end of the campground to the pit toilets was very overgrown, and I got several ticks on my trips to the bathroom. All in all a decent campground, but it could definitely be kept up better.

Good campground. The camp itself was fairly quiet however you could hear the highway noise all day/night!! The lake water level is really low! Clean pit toilets. #13 is closer to the boat trailer parking and dumpsters, but you could not smell anything. Overall enjoyable spot, we had enough sun for the solar.
