Love the family run feeling from the staff and the beautiful clean water.
Beautiful lake but i hate to pay for shower. 20 cents/minute and the office closes at 6pm
Beautiful campground, very well cared for. The staff was friendly and helpful.
They charge money, for an area that has no phone service tv or water . I'll won't go back there again
Great spot, basic facilities but everything you need for a camping trip!
We went there last week , for the third time. Great place

Red Alert!!! Unfortunately we have an algae alert at the lake. There has been one positive reading in the lake and therefore it is closed to swimming. Any questions please call our office........
Generally we don't camp at paid common area sites, but as far as this place goes, it's not bad. I'd setup over in the overflow area as its less populated and you can camp right near the lake. Just make sure you chose your spot well particularly if it rains, as you may experience a fair bit of water flow.
