What a nice campground with water being so close is awesome. Be aware of spiders and fruit Flys, and watch out for those geese . Having access to bathrooms and a shower is nice. But the shower is really hot.
Nice place to camp. I recommend booking further into grounds and reserve along A loop to avoid congestion and side by side tents from other campers. Campers may arrive late into the night. The showers and bathrooms are fairly clean and the camp grounds are clean as well. The water is low in some areas but deeper swimming waters are not too far away from each camp. A-loop site has water and electricity for hook up.
Beautiful sunset and relaxing view. Water is very chilled and a good spot for family summer time get away. Only thing is …there are many garbages or left over plastic materials on the campsites and on the lake. Restroom is oki, but needs extra cleaning and lights. Too many many many many flies and spidersssss. My tent, table, cooler, chairs and sandals are full of spiders 🕷 and their webs in the morning. Need to deep clean from inside out for 1 night. 😢 Well…cannot expect too much for $50 per campsite/night + $35 per vehicle right!!??
Great for outdoor picnic, group outing, barbeque meetings and kids recreational activities. Fun and great spot meeting new friends.
This place has a beautiful view of the water with alot of picnic BBQ pits and tables. A good place to bring family and kids. Has boat launch and fishing is allowed. Although this reservoir is occasionally stocked, there was no luck in fishing.
