I don't like lakes, in my opinion I guess it's a nice place to be with family if you are person that likes being in the outdoors, they have fishing areas and boat areas, so it's kind of nice that they separate one thing from other

One of my favorite campgrounds yet! Pad sites are awesome! Even though some don’t have much shade…it’s ok if you have an awning. Attendant was nice and knowledgeable of the area. Its quiet. The roads through the campground are good. Restrooms are clean. Sites are decently spaced out. Each one has a fire pit. Very well maintained.

One of our favorite campgrounds close to home. We have tent camped and stayed in our camper. The tent sites are some of our favorites. There are areas to walk right into the water and rocks to jump off. The fishing isn't too bad.
