Stunning campground with incredible lake views! I stayed here overnight for work and was thoroughly impressed. The facilities were excellent: spotless showers with reliable hot water, clean bathrooms and port-a-potties, a great rec room, convenient laundry, and even a lovely beach. Plus, it offers easy access to everything in the area. Highly recommend – I'll definitely be back!

Some of the best views you can get. Be prepared for a difficult climb up the stairs. It's good for ya. Gets the blood pumping. The hike down isn't so bad. The views are worth it. It took me a second to get comfortable being so high up. I'm really glad I went up.

Like most campgrounds, very small lots. Location is good. Nothing spectacular, except a small area of a water inlet to wade out in.

we enjoyed our stay. The shallow water at the lake was perfect for the kids to play and kayak. The staff was super nice and the laundry room was great. The showers could use an upgrade, since you have to constantly press a button to turn on the water without being able to keep it on. Everything else was great!
