LOVED IT CLEAN CAMPGROUNDS CLEAN RESTROOMS RIGHT BY THE LAKE👍👍🇺🇸
The wind broke our canopy and bent the poles of our tent within the first 2 hours of being there. It was incredibly hot, so without the canopy, we were in trouble. Although the showers were a relief, This is NOT A GOOD SITE FOR TENT CAMPING! We abandoned our 2-days paid reservations and headed to a more wooded area.
It did require a couple minutes of walking to get down to the waters edge but overall the facilities were clean and well kept.
Make sure to bring some sort of shelter from the sun, there is no relief from those rays. The sites are virtually completely exposed to the elements.
Fresh water, flushing toilets and showers are available.
There are NO beaches along the lake in the campground area. NONE, ZERO...
You also must being firewood. There are no trees within the vicinity of these campgrounds.
This was such a good campsite! The hosts were amazing and even gave our youth group Popsicles one day. It was extremely easy access to a drop-off inlet area for swimming and canoeing. I will note that the water got choppy in the evenings, so if you bring a jet ski, tie it down well. I helped rescue one that got loose
Had a wonderful time. Even though we got rained on and winds were up to 70mph. Becky really knows how to treat visitors. (Her Peeps) Came to welcome us upon arrival. Gave us the weather! Gave us advice on how to stake down a tent properly. Also great recommendations on other campsites in the area! Checked on us twice a day. Once in the morning and again at night. Talk about great service.Great fishing! Beautiful views. Very quiet and friendly area. Thanks Becky!!!! You are the Best!!!
