This is a hidden gem! Spacious level rv parking with well maintained bathrooms and showers. Don’t miss the cave tour - book ahead as they do sell out! One of the best (but take their description and physical activity warnings seriously).

I rated this area so highly because it is clean, quiet, and beautiful. There are no rooms, but you can camp. And the lake has nice soft beaches onto a large lake that shows it's well cared for and has been respected by campers who clean up their own garbage. Showers are hot, toilets are clean, and makes a camping trip for the family comfortable.

Rolled in at 10PM but was told by the very sweet camp host that we were unable to camp and pay in the morning. The park was mostly empty. Poor policy and lost revenue.

Nice campground, very quiet, sites well spaced out. Some sites are along Blue Lake wit lots of Canada geese coming and going (and pleasantly honking!). Beach was grown up due to low lake levels (drought). Plenty of areas to walk and enjoy the outside.

Not well maintained. Long grass needed mowing, LOTS OF MOSQUITOS!!, No sign of hosts. Poor signage, no way to check in, just come & go as you please or so it seems. No one answered phone multiple attempts and multiple days. Stayed one night. Beautiful facility with much potential.
