The lake was empty but made for a nice river ambiance. The host was a great host. Camp ground was clean and well kept. Not bad on mosquitoes either.

We spent a very, very good week at this camp. J.P., the host of the camp, is very friendly and helpful. He showed us a nice swimming hole. I hope we have a chance to go there again.

Very relaxing, just listening to the wind in the trees and despite the lake being so low, it created some nice sound effects from the running water that made the site very peaceful. The campground is very clean, very nice camp host. It’s heavily shaded making it comfortable even if the temps are high. If the lake is low there are several other nice kayaking spots within a 20 minute drive.
