Hikers enjoy the scenic land-based nature trail accessible from the campground. Boating, fishing and scuba diving among the remains of the flooded mountain valley are also popular here.

Beautiful campground. We love it here, and my only complaint is that they close at the end of summer and stay closed for 5 months!

Camp site was awesome, never saw a host person the 3 days we were there, bathrooms could have used daily attention instead of 1 time a weekend on Sunday right before we left. Showers only had 1 shower head out of the 3 shower stalls. Drains were clogged and you stood in 3 inches of water, yuck!

We just had the best time! This was a birthday trip and we had plenty of space for tents, hammocks, and were right by the water!! The stars, the water, and the camp overall was just so wonderful! Can’t wait to come back
