We hoped for a peaceful and fun family vacation, but unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our experience.

I think its the best site at this campground, its one of the few you can actually park at, we fit 3 cars in. Huge area for tents, had 3 spread around. Lots of trees for shade, view of the water through the trees and a short walk to the water. Not super private, can see some neighbors off through the trees, and the road for day use goes right by. Had planned on staying two nights but had to go due to thick wildfire smoke with ash falling.. Camp host was awesome, Super helpful and friendly.

I have stayed at dozens of campgrounds listed on rec.gov and never have I paid $30/ night for a campsite with the closest potable water 20 miles away. There was plenty of warning that the road was iffy in spots but what I took from the campground description was that there were no water or electric hookups. But there was no water period.

This is a nice campgrond on a beautiful lake. As it was my first visit, I was not ready for the more unconventional campground layout. This is not a traditional campground with every site having a space for a car. Instead many of the sites are actually walk in, with parking close by. The issue is that the spots needed for the walk-in sites can be taken by day use folks. There is a lot of day use people, but it calmed down by sunset.
When I reserved my spot on Recreation.gov, it says that the site is "Accessable." I do not need that, and since it said ALL the sites were Accessable, I went ahead and clicked through the warning. The sites are NOT Accessable.
The campground host, Cindy, was very nice and helpful.
