Paved campsites nestled in area above the lake. We walked in evening to see the sunset. We spent time biking and hiking. The campground host was very accommodating. Amazed at how many campgrounds were located in this area by the lake. Grateful to see the offering different types of lodging, and restaurant. It is a beautiful area.

Each campsite had a sense of privacy. Being that it was late September the campground was quiet and peaceful. The campground host was welcoming and looked out for the needs of the campers.
