Water sources too far apart to refill RV's as needed. Volunteer support at check in building was very very short hours during day. Restrooms were again not clean - lots of spider webs and bugs which had apparently been there for sometime.

Camped there a few times last month. It's a very popular campground. The kids love the beach area. Too bad there are so many bad pet owners who don't clean up after fido throughout the park.

We loved this campground and this site A 08. Site was huge. There were trails down to lake and cove. There is a neat lookout tower near site A 12. It is close to Marina. Nice clean beach area. Loved the huge lake. Only downfall on our site is the fire pit is too far in corner, but we have a portable fire pit we used closer to our RV. Bathrooms and showers very clean. Rangers do great job keeping up the area. Entrance to campground needs better signage. Do note that if you drive big class A with toad . Turn around in A leg not big and make sure you unhook your toad first before turning around to get in site if need to. We definitely plan to return. Loved it !!!

Very family friendly. We had so much fun. Although I will say It was very Interesting camping with 20+ raccoons, they are so funny and fun to watch but definitely keep everything locked up and picked up cause they’ll get it! They took off with quite a bit and a whole bottle of ibuprofen lol. Aside from the raccoons shenanigans, the Marina is beautiful, the private beach was a dream, and it was a blast! We will be returning!

An amazing experience as it was our very 1st time camping. The neighbors were really friendly.
We had easy access to the lakefront. And the area was pretty clean upon arrival.
Definitely going back to this area.
