Sweet spot! Great level tent site! Our dog loves the lake! Clean bathrooms!
Love this place, but some fokes don't realize the rules around the lake this day and the camp host ?? I'm not sure what they are paid to do around the place, but not like the old days
Went here last October and will be back this fall. So beautiful & our dogs love it. Great walking and biking trails too. Pit toilets clean and stocked.
