Customer Reviews
We camp here every year. Campsite is just a short walk from the beach. A mini-store is right around the corner. Kid play ground, restrooms, showers, water, electricity & fire pit is there. We love this place.
Our campsite was littered with trash when we arrived. There is just trash all over the campground and beach too. Be aware of if your campsite is under one of their street lamps that don’t turn off, ever. We didn’t notice until it was dark that our tent was under one of them…. The bathrooms are old and gross. The buttons you have to push to turn the showers on are difficult for kids and you can’t turn them on without getting soaked. The water is scalding and kids can’t shower in them. There’s no way to turn just cold water on either. My kids couldn’t even wash their hands in the sinks because of how hot the water was. Sketchy town in the surrounding area too. The kids loved the beach but that was the only positive aspect of the trip.
Highlights: arrived after memorial day Saturday concession/store closed all day(open once the entire week) Bathrooms locked at concessions No toilet paper at nearest bath house at 3pm on a saturday Bathrooms filthy Only 1 men's shower worked. No door on pit toilet by lake(some guy used it anyway) Cars racing thru camp ground (mph is 10) People play loud music and generally are loud here because there's nothing to stop them. Camp at your own risk and have your own self contained trailer. AVOID THE OLD BATHHOUSE AND CONCESSION BUILDING ON THE LAKE FRONT. ITS A DRUG DEN
Very clean and cozy place for a picnic. access to the lake💖
This campground is adorable and has been improving over the years. The new beach formation is great for kids and families 🏖️ and the camp store is very nice, it has been built brand new in recent years. Hoping the campground bathrooms will get some upgrades soon as well :) but overall incredible place to camp. Thank you to the staff and people who work here 🙏🏼
