Didn’t get to camp my tent uses stakes and guy lines to stay up couldn’t drive the stakes in far enough to rocky. So if you have a tent similar I do not recommend camping here. Requested a refund still no word on that

Very peaceful and quiet! Playground could use some updating. Otherwise, it was excellent!

Nice little out of the way campground, yet only about 20 minutes from Bathhouse Row. Easy access to major roads.

As tent campers, this is one of the quietest campgrounds that is primarily for RVs. The spot is right on the lake, elevated where I could watch my child play by the water from camp. The bathroom near the boat ramp was clean and close enough (unless your 6 year old has to go #2 at 6am 🤪) but the shower house was further than I would have liked. Overall though, would definitely stay again!

We were in number 26. We normally stay in the B loop because we can get our 37’ travel trailer in and out easy. My wife and I have been coming to this lake for 47 years and her even longer. The bathrooms and showers are handy as is the boat ramp. All 4 loops are clean but A loop is tight with bigger units. Great overall!

We were in the need to find a place to pull in our rig last minute. We found the website easy. Found a campsite quickly and since we pulled in after closing, the after hour checking was quick and easy. The camp was clean and quiet, and even though we didn't stay there very long, it was nice and park was pretty!
