This camping area without a doubt was one of the most peaceful places to camp we've been in a long time. The facilities were adequate and clean. The one thing I would suggest check the wind before you put up your tent. 😉😮😁

The camping was good. The sites were clean. We were in on travel trailer so we did not use the facilities. It was a full campground and I'm sure it was because the kids needed it before going back to school. I appreciated the quite starting at 10:00 which everyone pretty much abided too. Lots of water fun wave runner's, pontoon boats, and fishing boats .
