This campground is amazing. It's smaller so it's less crowded along the water and there's so many places to explore around the lake. The scenery is beautiful and all of the sites have a great view. My only complaint is that the camp host this year did not do their job and let a couple of our fellow campers blast music and party loudly until 1am.

Nice campground, 2nd time there and bathrooms were in excellent shape for being a camp bathroom. Easy access to lake. Only annoyance is the dispersed campers who set up down the road, they walk thru your camp (instead of around) to use the restrooms. Pretty annoying.

Great campsite, close to the lake, bathrooms were surprisingly clean for pit toilets. We had a great time and would come back again.
