We love coming here every summer! The sites are all pretty decently sized compared to other campgrounds we have been to. Some sites are definitely hidden gems. Whereas most are listed as waterfront or landlocked, campground regulars know the sites that include their own private beaches (unofficially of course). This campground used to be known as the big party spot but over the last six years coming regularly it really hasn’t been any thing like that. Yes it gets loud when it’s busy. But nothing out of hand like we have been told in the past. Dispersed throughout the campground are individual bathroom buildings (at least one in every camping section, always in walking distance), and there are three shower complexes. Two new with attached bathrooms and one older communal type. Some key notes, bring lots of bug-spray. Keep an eye out for cancellations because sites book up fast but there are always cancellations. And bring bug spray.
Lovely campground for our first time camping as a family with friends. We were able to reserve spots early and got 5 asking the same loop, 3 in a row on the lake side, which allowed us to take full advantage of the trees in between for a hammock city for the kids. Conveniently had a bathroom just across the way. Our lot did have a bunch of sheared metal pipe so I would suggest inspecting the site before pulling in.
Bob the Ranger is the best!! Great campground, well maintained with a great staff. We saw the bald eagle at the beach. We're definitely putting this campground on the list to go back.
Beautiful camping spot. It was an amazing time with the kids! pick accordingly online, and you will get the prime spot you want. Make sure every vehicle and driver/camper is registered or you won't be staying the night.. dog friendly, showers, rv spots, camping spots, bathrooms..
If you don’t mind not having hookups, then this is the place. Spacious & private lakeside site, dropped kayaks in easily. 2.5-3 pound bass all day on plastic minnows. Cute general stores a few miles away. Ask for Josh-he couldn’t have been nicer-very customer service orientated.
First one of the season, absolutely wonderful. They waited a little later for me to get here and the spots are well cleaned. Bathrooms are excellent and the showers are hot. Love it definitely coming back
