Very clean and the children really have fun! Lots of things for the kiddos to do.
Nice boat ramp trash cans all around. So clean up and help keep it free.
Great place for small children away from the crowds. Clear water and nice picnic areas.
This was a very nice camping spot. Of course, there were people coming and going from the boat ramp but all-in-all we were left alone. At night all traffic stopped and it was mostly quiet. You could hear rowdy campers from across the lake. There are only 2-3 places to camp, which made it a peaceful place to camp. We plan on camping here, again. I gave it 4 stars only because there was no running water and only a portapotty for restroom needs. We met 2 of the locals that live right there by the lake, one came to check on us after a storm and offered us water, the other came to make sure we weren't leaving because someone discharging a gun nearby. He wanted to assure us it was probably a neighbor just killing a snake or something. Very nice people.
Small Park, crowded on the weekend but not on weekdays, no fresh water source.
