After taking the advice from a friend to go camping for 1-2 nights after losing my heart dog suddenly I did a quick google search and found this place. I had a waterfront primitive spot that was spacious but still just a quick walk to the showers/bathroom. I am looking forward to spring/summer and camping here again. It brought me some peace I needed during a difficult time.

We've been coming here for the past five years and it just keeps getting better. The grounds are well kept. The bath house is kept clean at all times. The guys enjoy fishing both from several new piers or taking the boat out. The kids love the paddle boats and enjoy riding their bikes in a safe area. All in all, the host and manager are doing a great job and we look forward to returning.
