The camp hosts make this place THE best, next to the peaceful and beautiful waterfront sites. We are especially grateful for Clem’s help with our car troubles - patient and quick to rescue - he is such an asset to this Army Corp of Engineers CG. We loved our time there. Can’t recommend this place enough.
