Great spot to bring families they even have restrooms with showers. Fishing is easy fish off the shore or bring your boat to their dock. 10 spots with electricity and other spots without. Very nice place to camp.

My husband's family has been camping here since he was a kid. We now carry on the tradition and take our child there too! Quiet little campground, clean and nice people. Definitely more of a fisherman's campground but we love it for our whole family too!
