Friendly at check, camp site is quite, clean and well maintained spacious sites. Con: Street lights should be shut off. The camp site is lit up like a residential area.

Our stay all n all was very good! The staff was very friendly and helpful and the nightly movies was great! I feel as though the website is a bit misleading that there are bathrooms and showers, where there really are only port a pottys. Though they were clean as can be expected and many to choose from! Would stay here again, but only in cooler months where not being able to jump in lake isn’t an issue.
