First and last time staying at this campground. I called who was in charge late in the evening. They seemed very nice and accommodating assuring me that I'd be able to utilize the bathrooms because the girl that was going to take my money would leave them unlocked. They lock the restrooms! No codes like other campgrounds. I paid to stay somewhere I could not even utilize the facilities!!! Also you... First and last time staying at this campground. I called who was in charge late in the evening. They seemed very nice and accommodating assuring me that I'd be able to utilize the bathrooms because the girl that was going to take my money would leave them unlocked. They lock the restrooms! No codes like other campgrounds. I paid to stay somewhere I could not even utilize the facilities!!! Also you have to pay for a shower?!? You have an 8-minute limit. The absolute audacity and absurdity of just the facilities issue is enough! Just shows how much this park is lacking. Not only in accommodation but common sense. I'm not going to come knock on someone's tent at all hours to pee!!! What's wrong with you people? I guess that's why they have a pot potty. Also, you only have a few water sources throughout the park. I can see people getting frustrated having to hunt down another necessity they pay for. Most of the sites are uneven. It does seem they have a cute little lake. Wouldn't stay long enough to find out. If they wanted guests to come back you would be able to tell.

Small quiet campground. It is a township campground with lots of trees and grassy sites. Each site has a picnic table and firering. There's a nice playground for the kids, a small (not so nice) swimming area, a boat launch, two pavilions ( one with a few tables and one with twelve tables and two electrical outlets), a dump station, dumpsters. There is not water at each site, but there are two or... Small quiet campground. It is a township campground with lots of trees and grassy sites. Each site has a picnic table and firering. There's a nice playground for the kids, a small (not so nice) swimming area, a boat launch, two pavilions ( one with a few tables and one with twelve tables and two electrical outlets), a dump station, dumpsters. There is not water at each site, but there are two or three faucets throughout the campground. Not all of the sites are level. The shared electrical outlets are one 30amp and the other ones are only 110V. The bathrooms have three stalls, two sinks and a nice sized single shower/dressing room. However there is no floor barrier between the shower area and the dressing area, so unfortunately the water goes into the dressing area some. This would be an easy fix... The water has a slight odor to it, possibly iron? The lake connects to other lakes and all of them are no wake lakes. This is a small campground with only around 30 sites. The bathrooms could use some updates and more ventilation. Almost forgot to mention, they also have a fish cleaning station and horseshoes. The showers are pay showers. You get eight minutes for the first two quarters and four minutes for each additional shower

I was only here for the boat ramp but looks like a place I'd be happy to stay at.
