We booked 1 thru 6 and had all of the friends with us plus 5 boats. Great place to leave boat out over night and the boat ramp was very close. We love this place very quiet not alot of people in and out. The only thing is there are stickers!

Campground was beautiful - abundance of shade trees, water was surprisingly quite i.e. no speed boats, or jet skis! Peaceful and serene. Site was clean, don't use the bathrooms or showers so can't comment. Hosts were very accommodating! Cell service was spotty but it was a getaway few days so no problem!

This was a last minute trip that we booked site unseen. We were pleasantly surprised with the park. The spot was perfectly shaded and close to the bathrooms. The bathrooms were clean and the park was quiet. We will be back.

The park was freshly mowed, had friendly park hosts, and beautiful weather. We could not have had a better week.

The campsites are very nice and clean. The restrooms and showers are clean. The only complaint I have is how inconsiderate the boaters are towards the people on the banks. My other complaint is the no designated swimming areas.
