Amazing experience love the location and the view. Love how we saw wild turkeys easy access to the lake but there’s no showers, couldn’t not find other parks around the area with showers.

Nice campsite for hanging out in a tent for a few days. Would’ve like to have access to the water a little better but really nice campsite

I was fortunate and found a site with little trash. Many others hadn't been cleaned up. The fire pit was in good order. I was the only person using the whole campground on a Wednesday, which warrants the five star review from me.
