    We love this campground and easy lake access and all the puppy dogs visiting.

    This is a beautiful park. Very quiet and clean. The only negative comment is that the campground is looking tired. The bathrooms need updating. Many of the railroad ties marking the sites are rotting and need replacement. Many sites need to be graded as erosion is taking it's toll. The staff was great. Friendly and helpful. Overall we had a wonderful week
