Great location near the lake. The campsites which we thought would be sunny was party in shades due to lots of tress around. Campgrounds were clean and only issue was the ladies restroom door would not close completely and that lead a garden snake to the hole at the door. Camp host put some tape for night and next morning park ranger came to let the snake go its way. They have 2 car parking space... Great location near the lake.

We could even put 2 big tents and one tiny day tent for the kids. They had grill and we made bone fire for s’mores. Overall enjoyed our stay.

Nice area, spot #5, good pad to pop down to the lake. We did just the canoe and had a blast with our three young kids paddling and swimming near the shorelines. Crossing the lake by canoe with power boats going by is a little harrowing. We brought bikes to do bathroom and garbage runs. Glad there was firewood for sale, very convienent.

Great facilities in the paddy creek camping area. Showers could be cleaned more often. No trash cans in the bathrooms either. Very nice trails and beach/lake access. Be ready for big black ants everywhere on everything.

Very nice campground! Sites are not close together, lots of privacy. Camp host keeps everything super clean from the bathrooms/showers and campsites. Campsite comes with level pad for tents, nice fire pit for fires and cooking, picnic table, pole for hanging a lantern, and nice sized bear box to store food boxes and cooler. Camp host will also deliver firewood at $5 a bundle, cash only. We will co... Very nice campground! Sites are not close together, lots of privacy.
