One of my very favorite places on earth! My family spends almost half the summer camping here. We love the beautiful campsites that are spacious and several are private as well. There are no showers or flushing toilets, but there are outhouses and hookups for water and electric at every site. There's also a seperate dock in the campground that can be used by campers to fish from or tie boats through during your stay ☺.

The lake is big enough to go boating, skiing, and tubing if anyone wants, and we love kayaking as well! There's also a sandbar in the middle of the lake that it is fun to boat out to and swim around ☺. It is also a good place to go fishing and has no wake hours starting at 6PM so that people fishing will have no disruptions from large speedboats going fast through the lake.

The beach area is very nice and water is nice and shallow for quite a ways out, giving a lot of room for kids to play ☺. If you forget life jackets, Florence County Parks has some on a display there that can be borrowed and returned before leaving 😁. We always try to wear water shoes in the swimming area just because there are several little rocks until you get out a little bit.

The views are beautiful here. I love seeing the sunrises and sunsets over the water! 🌅 I even recently took my son here to take pictures instead of buying expensive school photos, and they turned out beautifully!
