Remote, but nice place to camp. We had a large group and they were very friendly and accommodating. There are several pavilions. The bugs weren't a problem, which was not what we expected. That was nice. Lots of shade.
We stayed here over a holiday weekend; the price for a camping spot with water and electricity is fantastic! After that, I was underwhelmed. The restroom were cleaned daily, and they had an okay job but the showers! OMG are awful!! If your in an RV, it wouldn't be a must of an issue for you, but when camping in a tent, it's a big issue also; where the tent sites are, they aren't very well maintained when it comes to ant piles and the high grass. It does look like they are trying to do some updating and remodeling, and maybe that is taking a front set to the upkeep.
I can't say enough about the kindness of the gatekeepers! Be advised that some of the water hookups require 50 ft of hose. Mine wasn't long enough and one of the gatekeepers loaned me one! When I went to leave, another one helped me hook up my camper. On my way out, he gave my granddaughter some gifts. It's a shame that all of the dead trees down by the water had to be removed so there is no shade. If you want a shady site, stay on the hill or on the Ridge. There is also a nice little swimming beach with a playground. I will definitely go back!
This is a fantastic place to camp. There are only 3 tent sites, the rest are for RVs. Sites are roomy. The lake is wonderful and there's a nice swimming area. A tent site comes with water and electric for $10.
Friendly staff, clean campground. Not as much shade as there used to be. *Be sure to check your power before setting up camp.
