This is one of the nicest campgrounds I've ever stayed at! I camped in a tent right next to the lake. I watched the sun go down as I laid in my bed. I highly recommend. read more

See all

Love the campground overall. However, our spot, CP128, has a narrow paved drive with a drop off. It's hazardous stepping in and out of the camper. Other negative? The unbelievably unbearable humidity and heat in the shower house. Also, the water is hard to work. They are push buttons, and you need to put some muscle into it. Kids and the elderly will need help! No soap in the bathroom. The wildlife is abundant. Deer, turkeys, skunk, etc.....The beach is terrific! We will be back. read more
