Love it here. The view at Bluff view was fantastic and kayaking next to the bluffs was so fun. I love that there was beach access right in our camp grounds. The bathrooms were awesome with the showers in each stall. The store is well catered for. The only thing that was a bit challenging was the motor boats going up and down when you’re on a kayak but we survived.

The campground is always good. The lake however was disgusting this time. We would not let the kids swim at the swim area. I am aware of the recent flooding and had we known the condition of the lake, we would not have come. Our friends small child got very sick from the water and ended up in the hospital with a diagnosis resulting from ingesting contaminated water.

Bluff View is a clean, well kept and beautiful place to camp. With water and electric at most sites make it even better. Being able to drive so close to the swimming area is a major plus especially for me being handicapped. We love it there!
