We stay here once a year and it's a pretty good place. The lake is nowhere near the campground though and the last trip the bathroom ran out of TP and they never came in to take out the trash.

We got a code for the lock but it was double locked and we weren't able to drive all the way down to the site and had to haul in all our stuff. Other than than, it was great!
Popularity: Very quiet

Busiest in August, when about 0% of guest capacity is reserved. Based on 1 years of reservations.
