Another amazing camping trip im the books We love the site and how clean and peaceful it is. The lake was so low though and wish there was somewhere to dispose of our trash. Can't wait until next year to camp again

WOW! What an amazing off the grid campground! The site was slightly difficult to find but other than that amazing. There is 1 bathroom that is far from the sites but it is well kept. The campsites are very spread out. Campsite 1 did not have a lake view but was very private.

People are pathetic. This includes the people that oversee these sites. I walked into a campsite with a fire pit full of garbage. Why don’t you pigs just stay home?

It's a nice, Remote site that has its own path down to a lake. I only shared the entire campground with one other camper and only for one of the three nights I stayed there. Make sure you either have a means of filtering water or bring it with you as there is water source outside the lake.

The campground is small with only 3 sites but they are well spaced and private. Campsite 1 is level with ample room for our 21 foot pop up camper trailer. Lake was beautiful and caught a few large mouth bass and bluegill. However,campsite 4 does not have direct access to the lake shore like the other three sites do.
