Relaxing campground with nicely spaced clean spots, picnic tables, fire pits,vault toilets, and hand pump water available. Comfy places to hammock. Lake was ok for kayaking but wouldn’t recommend for swimming as it was full of lily pads.
Fishing is near impossible from camp sites as there are too many lily pads, price per day is too high because nothing has changed about the place for the past 27 years! Picnic tables are usually covered with slimy mold. No effort has been made to clear the lily pads to make the place more enjoyable. I personally have had to defend myself from dogs that are allowed to roam freely by unresponible dog owners, prompting me to carry a weapon, usually a stick. Dogs should be prohibited from the the campground. The only thing that changed is the price per day, up from $12 per day to $20 per day, ridiculous!
Nice camping sites and clean grounds but heavily fished over 15 shanties today not much for fish after a whole day dawn to dusk and small ones that were caught but maybe stocking is in the future not sure.
Very nice campground with spacious spots. $20/day here, but with the lake and game area, I feel it's worth every penny. Check out is at 3 pm, which is super convenient. The outhouse is well maintained. I will be back!
Nice small rustic campground with an outhouse and hand pumped water. Sites are spaced out. Proximity to lake and marsh is nice, but leads to bugs depending on the season.
