It's a beautiful campground and the lake is absolutely gorgeous, fish are abundant and the amenities are all right. Shower tokens are $1.50/3 minutes. The toilets are tall plastic seats over holes in the ground, but they are kept well clean. Gosh do they stink, though! Dont bring your phone in the bathroom, cause you will never see it again if it falls in. The convenience store is filled with lots of things from beer to marshmallows to board games and towels, etc. The prices are a little wonky, $8.50 for a bottle of bug spray that lasted a day, just as an example. The trail around the lake is clean and lovely. However, the mosquitos sucked me dry, even with bug spray and a net for my head, they were absolutely ruthless. I got bit 6 times within the first few minutes of stepping out of the truck! There were some drunken unruly camping neighbors who were scream-laughing well past midnight, keeping everyone in my campsite awake, and I'm sure other campers were kept awake too. The camp host was useless to help, so we had to confront them ourselves. If you are allergic to bees, beeware (joke kind of intended!). All in all, it wasnt a bad trip. The bugs had us going home a day early, though, we were so itchy! My dog was being sucked dry by the mosquitos even more than us humans, she was going nuts! Oh, one more thing, PLEASE enforce the dog leash rule, my dog was approached by so many unleashed strange aggressive dogs I thought I would have to hide her in the tent for the rest of the trip.
