Favorite place to swim and camp with friends and family. They have a nice beach, clean restrooms and showers, playground, and 3 different ramps. The staff is friendly and the scenery is beautiful. Been visiting this location for almost 30 years.

Very nice spots.. Beautiful lake view and great camp hosts. They are currently still working on a few spots due to all the flooding, but we will be back again soon.
