One of the best places to camp and enjoy the outdoors, just too bad the Farmers have blocked the lake from being used by water crafts for no Reason. A Very Selfish move on their part.

Just drove through! Beautiful place. The reservoir is so blue/green. Outhouse was clean. There’s several covered picnic areas to rent I’m assuming for the day. For some reason there’s not an option to upload pictures. If I’m awake later I’ll upload the pictures I took. .

Was driving through the state and had to stop for the night. It's $20 per night for 1 car/tent site. Friendly host, clean restroom, and just very peaceful campground.

We rented the large pavilion area. It was nice to have the shade, tables, and drinking water. Camp hosts were nice. If there was just a little effort put in to the grounds and the water area, it could be really great, but it's fine for what you pay. The beach is dirt, but the water is a comfortable temperature. The access area from the campground is through a tiny opening and kind of a pain to get... We rented the large pavilion area. It was nice to have the shade, tables, and drinking water.

The beach is dirt, but the water is a comfortable temperature. The access area from the campground is through a tiny opening and kind of a pain to get through with a stroller or wagon, but...again, it's cheap.
