We haven’t camped here in awhile but it was a great camping trip - nice and quiet - weather was perfect - just need some rain to take away the burn ban so we could have a campfire. We’ll be back!!!

Charlotte and her husband were so helpful ! They made my reservations for me when the app didn't work and were glad to do it! The park is absolutely immaculate. The gentleman that resides there works so hard to keep everything tidy. Bathrooms were spotless . The only bad part was when we had to leave. Definitely going back!

We come here all the time. We call it our home campground. We always find a well kept area. Nice big lots. Even with the lake being low our bald eagles are always great to see flying around. Nice quiet area

We were disappointed to learn upon arrival that the lake was closed to swimming. Even for our dog who love the water. If we had known we would have chosen to camp elsewhere. Since this is apparently an annual bacteria problem, it should have been posted as a notice on Rec.Gov
