A great little recreation spot. There is a small play structure & a couple of picnic tables. The lake is divided between swimming & fishing. It has a sandy beach as well as a cement ramp for handicapped access extending all the way into the water. Salamanders & tiny perch are plentiful in the swimming area, but completely harmless. Admission to the swimming area is $8 per carload per day. There are flush toilets in close proximity to the lake. The campground is open seasonally & operates on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The campground host was very sweet and kept the bathrooms and bathhouses impeccably clean. The sand was freshly grated and clean. The shallow part of the lake went out pretty far so the kids had a lot of space to play. We felt safe and everything was clean. My only regret is not bringing bikes for the kids. We did both hikes and they were perfect! The "lake" is the size of a large pond, but it is big enough for kayaks, stand up paddle boards, and canoes. Lots of space to swim. We took the dog and he had a great time too
Perfect spot too celebrate a bday 🎂
Good camp with nearby day hike, mountain bike, gravel riding, etc options. Part of a recreation area offering a small beach, lake and picnic options. Showers and restrooms. All sites have a gravel pad and fire ring.
Impressive campground. Quiet. Remote for the area. Great spots. Hot water showers in the bath house. Super clean bathrooms. Very nice spot.
