I wish I could give 0 stars. The sheer amount of flies that this campsite has is a massive environmental disaster waiting to happen. I would guess that the local hospitals have taken people in with issues caused by the huge population of disease carrying flies at this campground. The fact that so many people actually camp here is astounding. I stayed for only 3 hours and moved into another campground 10 miles away and there's no flies there. Seek the alternative if you don't wish to become ill. The county doesn't care as I did contact them and even the sole employee I was able to contact at this campground became defensive and uppity after I brought up the issue. It is highly likely that fecal matter is seeping into the ground from their pit toilets and tainting the lake. I would not fish here if you're looking to consume what you catch. There are 2 alternative campgrounds nearby and I cannot stress enough that out should seek these alternatives if you value your health, or the health of your family and pets that you plan to bring along. This campground is not currently suitable for human occupation.

Good enough! A quiet place to stay on a drive through. Bathrooms were relatively clean, not great. Great views
