What a beautiful campground! It was very woodsy and right next to the lake, which made it great for paddle boarding. The camp host is very friendly and takes great care of the campground. Lots of wildlife viewing right from our campsite (foxes, deer, squirrels, birds). I can't wait to go back!

Beautiful campground with great access to water and hiking opportunities. Campground host was extremely welcoming and helpful. Not far off of the main road, so except a fair bit of noise from traffic.

Very nicely maintained campground. Neighbors were very quiet and campground was not very crowded. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Camp host (Pete?) was awesome, available and very knowledgeable about the area.
