Very clean, nice, well kept campground. One of my favorite places to visit for fishing, boating, watching the sunrise, swimming, hiking, writing in my journal, photographing nature or just sitting enjoying a picnic or a family gathering for a BBQ. Enjoy!

Pros: Great view Rocky shoreline Secluded and small, only 11 spots Water & Electric hookups My kids are older and enjoy the rocks and all the crawling things they can catch Cons: No shower house Toilets are old hole in ground style Sites 1 & 2 are very sloped. My camper tongue was on the ground, and it still was not level. No dump station Must drive to Hawthorn to dump or use shower. I would say n...

All sites are unlevel and very close to one another. About 10 sites. Vault toilet but clean. Very small campground. Camp attendant, Julia, was very nice and helpful. Nothing to do at this campground. Maybe fishing.

The view is wonderful! Our site had a fire ring, picnic table, post grill, and big shade trees. Really the only drawback was the restrooms are the smelly outhouse style and no showers. Still, we'll definitely visit again. It's so peaceful, the rates are great, and the trees are so nice! Also, yes they are dog friendly.

This little campground is a gem. While it's missing some amenities (showers, dump station), it was a quiet oasis for a busy holiday weekend.
