We had such an amazing time! The lake is HUGE and the camp grounds aren't bad, on the smaller side but its because people mainly come to be on their boats!

A great quiet get away. About a mile from either boat ramp accessible by canoe. 2 points to choose from; one has sites #1-6, the other has #7-30 (or so). There are single (1-tent pad) and double (2-pads) sites. Large wooden signs can be seen from the water labeling the campgrounds; small post markers indicate where boats can be pulled-in.

About a mile from either boat ramp accessible by canoe. 2 points to choose from; one has sites #1-6, the other has #7-30 (or so). There are single (1-tent pad) and double (2-pads) sites. Large wooden signs can be seen from the water labeling the campgrounds; small post markers indicate where boats can be pulled-in. Both areas have shared water spigots, shared rustic toilets, self-pay stations, and trashcans. Sites have a tent pad/s, lantern pole/s, picnic table, fire ring, and groundcover is fine gravel at the sites. Don't expect much in the way of niceties if you're wanting that. Dirt/rock trails connect all sites and access to the water. Points are elevated so all sites are 6+ feet or more above the water; no sites are directly on the beach. Small beaches are rocks mostly; some shallow areas for kids to swim. Boat pull-ins are spaced around each point. I scouted both points; site #12 was one of the better sites for shallow water access and a great view of the water and the stars. There are no open areas for kids to play; all very woodsy. I did not venture off of trails due to poison ivy/oak. Overall a great 'away from it all' place to camp. My pictures should give you a good idea of the place and show many of the things mentioned in my review. Enjoy!
