Clean, quiet, nice, there is alot of work being put into this camp ground to keep it this way. There is a nice cement path from the north end of the lake at the camping area down past the boat ramps. 3-4 fishing docks, clean modern showers, and rest rooms. They do have firewood for sale. There is a big playground for the kids. They have a place to dump the grey and black water on the campers. Camping spots have power and water. There are spots that are tent only. Plenty of extra parking spaces for visitors. There is a shelter house close to modern bathrooms. This is a very good place to take kids for bike riding, fishing, and sight seeing.
Lake done gone missing, but if you like a lot of dead carp with your piles of dead gar and catfish, this is an ideal camping spot. An intriguing fragrance permeates the area.
