The campground itself is beautiful but there is no enforcing of the 10pm "quiet hours". Children are running around shouting past midnight. Maybe I got an unlucky day but I was looking for a quiet place to camp for a night and this was not it.

Beautiful campground with lots of shade! Easy access to the day use area and swim beach. Bathrooms and laundry in the middle of the campground and water access throughout the campground. Unfortunately the flood irrigation leaves standing water and that means the worst mosquito population we've ever seen (and we're from the South!).
