The NRD did a great job of making a nice recreation lake for fishing, kayaking, and tent or camper camping. It's a beautiful place that is extremely accessible.
May 2020 ,excited to camp with my brothers and sister in law.Nice place!But started not feeling well late in the night the night I got there.Ended up going to hospital with my LAD (widow maker)in trouble.Had stents put in .Had no visitors because of Covid. Love camping but this is one time I can’t say I enjoyed 💔I can’t say this is a fair rating?!?
Nice clean place. I've been there 5 times to fish. Not even a nibble.
Beautiful hidden gem. Very clean campground with beautiful lake and sites
