Beautiful area. We had fun. Only 4 stars simply because of the traffic in and out considering I had all 4 sites booked for a week and a day. One day a family came in to fish and called me in for a noise complaint in the middle of the day. Once I told the officer im the only one here and paid for the whole campground he replied "so I shouldn't even be here.. that would explain why they didnt give a name with the complaint." Every day there was a boat or 2 on the lake and there was a lot of cars that came through, even in the middle of the night. Not as remote as I thought we would be. The toilet is to be as expected. Better than digging a hole and squatting lol

The photos of the site were poor. When we got there we couldn't fit into the campsite.

All 4 sites were amazing. Sites #2 and #3 had water access. We were even able to put the canoe in from #2. Site #2 had access to a trail as well. We reserved both #2 and #3 for a couple nights, because the sites were so small and we wanted privacy. We did have someone on #3 for a couple nights, and it wasn't bad. Site #4 is right at the beach/boat launch and was disappointed that it was already reserved, but honestly, I would take #2 for it's access to the lake and trail and more private; especially if you can get #2 and #3. Site #1 is across the road and all by itself and wooded so if you are not interested in being on the water it's perfect and a very short walk to the beach/boat launch. Sites 1, 2 and 3 are extremely close to the vaulted toilet. It was older but clean.
