Very pleasant environment, beautiful sunset over the lake. Grounds are well kept and mowed, rolling grassy hillsides with mature trees. The restrooms and bath house was very clean. We’ll be back again to this location.

Overall, we were satisfied. Although with the price increase following the new ownership, I figured the rough shower heads could possibly be addressed at the least. I felt as if they were in poor working conditions. Bathrooms and campsite facilities were overall clean and in shape besides that.
