We had a great time! Our site A8 was quite nice. It does share water with A5 next door which is actually quite a distance requiring a really long hose for them. So there may be a long hose that runs near the site but is really out of the way. But we had a great time and great veiw of the water even though we were "across the street." We are already rebooked for another trip.

This was a great stop and our spot was right on the water. It was great to have a large flat concrete surface as well as walk straight in to the water to kayak. Staff at gate was wonderful and facility well patrolled and clean.

We had campsite 4 which was perfect-very private & a good look at the lake. Only complaint is we couldn't find the dumpster to put our trash but everything else was great. The campsite lady is excellent-very helpful!!

Perfect beautiful place for an outside event. Pictures turned out great with the water front background. We did a Bible character party here and it was perfect.
