We wanted a nice view of the lake... Then some shonzola decides to park their car half way in the grass and halfway in the gravel road.. Right behind our rig... In our spot.. We just can't seem to find a nice scenic spot without some snot deciding its OK to park their car behind our camper... Then you have people driving by, looking at me like its MY CAR, that's halfway in the roadway... Arrgh ... And then I wondered... Why do they have you pay for a whole day camping fee, when you can't check-in till 5pm? That's the latest checkin time of all the camping I've ever been to.

We just got here to the campground....All we can say is we are quite impressed! The office people are soooo friendly and go up and above to be accomadating, Prices are so cheap per night ( $25 for full hookups and $20 for water and electric sites) . Our site is so spacious which is great and the VIEWS from our RV are panoramic and Amazing of the beautiful lake!! It is so quiet here, which is so refreshing! You can hear traffic noise very lightly in the distance. Towns are close by in case you need to grab anything. Facilities are nice too. Only downfall that we see so far is they don't have Laundry here, so we will have to go yo town to do that. All in all we think it's going you be a great stay!!!
