A very nice park but the roads inside the park could use some maintenance. The host, Daniel, is a superb host. A nice guy who keeps the park clean. Daniel has great stories regarding the park since he grew up there. We invited him to our site for dinner and a fire and enjoyed his company.

A very nice, smaller campground. While clean and plenty of hot water, the facilities are a little older and could use some TLC. Camp host was super nice. Didn't have a chance to do any hikes, but they look like good trails. I was in #13, nice view of the lake, I think #16 is the prime spot. Highly recommended!

Nice campground. Some good size lots for big rig. All back in. Backing in some sites a little tight. Site 12 is great for backing in. Good size. Water and electric.Tent sites too. Bathhouse is ok old. Showers need a good cleaning. Directions to campground a little difficult to follow. Very small signs for campground.
