Awesome tucked away campground. Only 15 spots first come first served. On a smaller but quieter lake than the main lakes. Good fishing. Oak hill marina is just across the bay. There's a boat ramp here and restrooms with showers. $25/night no power and $35 a night with. Some sites do have water hook ups. Lots of shade. One downer is there's no beach

Of wasn't for location, would have been just 1 star. Random fire pits, that. Have nothing to do with specific camper site, any of the bumper hitchees or 5th wheel use the adjoining pot for parking giving themselves 2 areas . Only electric hook ups unless you have 100 - 200 ft. Hose and lucky to get one of 4 spigot next to the 1 hydrant between 2 campsights. No dump station, so unit next to us, who was there for almost a week just ran there sewage ?? Maybe just lightly miixed with gray water ,under their camper mud hole by morning. Livable if priced like a state campground for 16, but was $35 a night with only electric

For being such a small campground it was very relaxing being right on the water ....was maybe a ten min drive if u wanted to go to barefoot bar or if you wanted to go to Arnold's park , very convenient for where it was ....showers are ok but I'm glad there was a shower to use esp with it being so hot ....we had a shady spot ...small but cozy and we paid 35 for an electrical spot and for being there for 3 nites 105 is alot better than what some of the hotels were asking for ....will most definitely go back

I use the showers after work with some frequency. Functional but not ideal. Is average to above average for a campground but its still a campground...
