There was a construction crew with heavy machinery ripping out and replacing the vault toilet. Noise, dust and smell. No fun. We left. Wasted 2 nights in fees.

I could not find the campground. I was not able to locate by address, I was confused and lost. I ended up staying in a state park

Nice, small campground with 9 sites. We were the only ones in the campground the first 2 night. The lake was nice,, the fishing was poor. Will probably go again.

This is a lovely campground with only 9 sites, very quiet. The lake is quite small but easy to paddle around. Didn't look like many fish when I was there.
