A playground and tons of picnic tables were also available. This was my niece's first time camping, and she loved it. We have many funny memories. We especially loved that it was a no-drama zone. The campsites were cheap, and they sell their own chopped wood. A whole metal trash can was $15. We will definitely go back in the near future.

Perfect for a relaxing weekend escape from the normal work grind. Even in a heat wave, the ample shade kept us cool and the pups loved splashing in the creek. The restrooms and showers were private and super clean. The sites are spaced so that you have plenty of privacy, while also being only a short walk to the camp store, playground, and shower/restroom facilities making this the perfect place for kiddos and tired parents. 10/10 recommend. We can't wait to go back!

What was especially great was that the boat slips were covered. The only problem was that sone of the slips closer to the shore were extremely shallow but we parked our boat in a shallow spot (3ft) and we were fine but this is probably not going to be a problem for you because the lake was lowered by 2ft because there was a hurricane going up the coast and the mild thunderstorms that would reach the lake would probably flood it. Other than that the campsite was wonderful and I enjoyed my stay.

We were unsuccessful after calling, going online, and speaking with the park attendant at the gate. Not a big fan of the east coast and the prices nature parks charge here. Living in the mid and west coast you can literally pull up and park at almost any lake with your hammock and it cost you nothing. Here on the east coast not only are you paying for ok scenery and rude attendants that look over you depending on how you look.

Well-appointed tent sites w/overlooks through the woods down to the lake w/a picnic table & trash hook, prkg for multiple vehicles , and a fire pit w/room for tents of any size and chairs/hammocks.

I'm not really sure what her purpose was or what she's supposed to be doing but she interrogated my family the entire time. She kept asking us how many people are supposed to be coming and kept saying "this isn't the place to have a party." She butted into every single conversation we had and was breathing down our necks the entire time. Literally every time any of us used the trash can, she changed the trash like she was annoyed we were using it. I swear the trash was changed 7 times in short amount of time we were there. I didn't mind changing it when we were done either. She screamed at one of my family members very loudly over something he said in a PRIVATE conversation he was having with one of my other family members. Mind you, the conversation had nothing to do with her or the lake. She also screamed at somebody else's kids because they were throwing sand. I understand not throwing it at people but there was nobody around and they were just being kids. My family and I did nothing wrong and I don't think it's fair that we were made this uncomfortable at a public lake. We are good people. We minded our business, were polite, cleaned up after ourselves, and even fed the lady because that's the kind of people we are. I understand if we were being rowdy but we were just literally enjoying family time together. Definitely will never be going back to this lake again.

The…read morebathhouses seem like they had just recently been remodeled, and they were beautiful and very clean and updated. The lake that the campground is on is very pretty. There are some nice playgrounds for the kids, not big but they get the job done. The pool is small, but nice for kids to play and hang out. There are no fire pits at the spaces so that was a little disappointing. The spaces are very small, but paved. Lots of roots and trees around, so there is not much even ground even for sitting at the picnic tables. Definitely a more family friendly feel, and with the space is being so close. It's not a very relaxing campground with peace and quiet if that's what you're looking for. It wasn't overly loud or people partying it up or anything, but just not a private campground if that's what you're looking for. For $40 a night, I would say that it is well worth the money and our kids had a great time!
