My wife and I made reservations for $20 a night, but with a $7 fee for online reservations. We didn't know that computers need to be paid for wages! The view is beautiful when coming into the campground, but the (8-9 ft easily) reeds along the lake block the lake view and prevent any fishing from lakeside campsites. From July on, no campfires or charcoal grills are allowed and are strictly enforce... My wife and I made reservations for $20 a night, but with a $7 fee for online reservations.
