This is a great place to stop for an over-night quick stay or weeks long stays. We stayed here for one night on our way from TN to WI, but liked it so much, we decided to come back and stay a week. The staff is really friendly, the store is well stocked and the restrooms are clean (with the small exception of the stains on the shower floors, which is unsightly, but doesn't appear to be anything... This is a great place to stop for an over-night quick stay or weeks long stays. We stayed here for one night on our way from TN to WI, but liked it so much, we decided to come back and stay a week. The staff is really friendly, the store is well stocked and the restrooms are clean (with the small exception of the stains on the shower floors, which is unsightly, but doesn't appear to be anything that can be helped). The lake is nice. There is a walking/biking trail all around the lake and across the dam area. There are baseball fields on the way to the campground and an amphitheater too. There were lots of ball games, mostly ladies softball, but no concerts. There is also a huge pavilion for large gatherings/picnics. This is just a nice well rounded park. There is a great playground and lots of land for Frisbees and other run-around games. There is no swimming in the lake, but rowboats and such are welcome. Trolling motors only, I think. It was too cold for me to get out in my kayak though. There are LOTS of ducks and geese (as well as squirrels and chipmunks) around on the property. They aren't afraid of the campers, so they come up into your site several times a day looking for bugs and such for breakfast and dinner. My cats were thoroughly entertained all day!

This place will go down as my family’s favorite camp ground ever! We stayed for a month and when we left it felt like we left a piece of our heart. The crew that run it are 10 out 10 the nicest people you’ll ever meet.
