The park is a great location but it needs updated. Most all have only 30amp hookups. Some of the sites in the G section don’t have water. Also some of the trees need to be removed close to the road to help with backing into spots. If someone has a vehicle parked across from you while backing in, the trees are very hard to maneuver around. Site B21 is the only site on the water that isn’t concreted. We love the park and location, and camp there several times a year. We would just love to see it updated.

Piney Bay is a family choice. The husband can take the boat out and the kids have plenty of room to ride bikes.

We stayed in D1 site. It was an awesome site, right at the water and boat ramp and down the hill from the bath house. The park is quiet and beautiful. The lake is clear and clean! Loved this park, will return!
