This campground has some very tight Camping spots. We were in spot 34 which I do not recommend at all. You can’t see it from the picture but to get in the driveway you have to maneuver around several trees. My husband is a professional semi driver and it took him about 15 tries to get our 34 foot camper into the spot. The picnic table and fire pit is located on the backside of the camper not the front. we are handicap so we did not use either because it was too much of an ordeal to keep walking behind the camper. Our water Spicket was broke and didn’t work but the lady over the campground came and fixed it pretty promptly and she was totally awesome. The Lake is full of tree trunks sticking out of the water making boating, pretty scary. Also, the landscaping needed to be mowed. The campground just looked really untidy.

It was a perfect location and size for my group, and the restroom was so close to the picnic area was huge benefit for everyone. I highly recommend this picnic place for everyone!

with the south campsites closed (i believe due to dead trees that need to be removed for safety reasons) and no access to the one decent bath house/ rest room the accomendations for such on the north end are in poor shape. the vault toilet that lies between the 2 areas and which serviced out site #72 is in terrible shape with rotting/rusting metal and huge chucks of flaking paint. definitely a disappointment. they need to step up there maintenance
