Beautiful and clean campground! Very friendly gal at the desk! Dog friendly. (40’ coach plus flat towing a F-150 so we unhooked to park.) Would definitely stay here again and it was only $30/night.

Looked like there was a bunch of season camper and everyone was nice. Fire pits and picnic tables at each site. We do not have kids but there was a nice playground area for children to run around. Would highly recommend this campground and would stay here again.

Stayed one night. Site 24. Was perfectly level. Park was quiet. Camp manager was delightful. Both bathrooms/ shower houses were clean. Cute little park that seems to have long-term residents. Has many amenities for children. Right within the city limits, so easy access to everything. Lake was a good size.
