Narrow, but good paved road leads here. Cell service was barely existent. WiFi failed to connect to internet. Some sites along creek share electric and water. Very nice folks here, including the staff at the lodge and restaurant.

We camped here for 3 days. It was ok. Heads up to anyone wanting to camp there. Some of the sites are impossible to back into if the site around them are filled. Some if the camp sites are so unlevel it would take 4ft of blocks to level a camper. Since you can't swin in the lake, you have to go to the community pool which was packed both times we went. The camp sites in general are p... We camped here for 3 days. It was ok. Heads up to anyone wanting to camp there. Some of the sites are impossible to back into if the site around them are filled. Some if the camp sites are so unlevel it would take 4ft of blocks to level a camper. Since you can't swin in the lake, you have to go to the community pool which was packed both times we went. The camp sites in general are pretty close together. We won't be camping there again just because there's better one's closer to our home.

Family campground. Mostly locals bringing all the kids, dogs, golf carts, etc. Friendly and wholesome to see kids outside doing anything other than phones. Lake is great with some shore access. Boating is low speeds and can rent canoes or kayaks. Staff are outstanding. The only complaint was our site (60) probably shouldn't exist. It was 15 feet from a dump station and 20 feet from a dumpster. Th... Family campground.

Boating is low speeds and can rent canoes or kayaks. Staff are outstanding. The only complaint was our site (60) probably shouldn't exist. It was 15 feet from a dump station and 20 feet from a dumpster. The smell at times was horrible. Avoid that site and it's a great place.
