This was an amazing and unforgettable place. It's so quiet and beautiful. We happened to be passing thru on vacation and called the owner real late. He said where to go and where to pay. $20 a night for tent camp but I think it was worth it.

A little piece of Heaven on earth. Camp sites have a good amount of privacy. There is a boat ramp & dock. Public bath houses available and clean. There is a public beach and private one for campers. The camp host/hostess does a phenomenal job with family friendly activities.

We stayed here over the weekend and this is my take. The managers are nice and pretty lenient about check out times. They have hot water and showers in the bathrooms, so that's a plus. We didn't use the swim area but it looks nice as well as the rest of the campground. There are 4 primitive tent sites, which is where we stayed. There is a fire ring and a cross tie to sit on. No table. The tent sit... We stayed here over the weekend and this is my take. The managers are nice and pretty lenient about check out times. They have hot water and showers in the bathrooms, so that's a plus. We didn't use the swim area but it looks nice as well as the rest of the campground. There are 4 primitive tent sites, which is where we stayed. There is a fire ring and a cross tie to sit on. No table. The tent sites are kinda ridiculous. The sites are super close to one another. They're about 20ft wide and they're side by side, so you are right up on your neighbor and no privacy what so ever. Our first night we had a couple next to us who were drunk and started fighting. They were trying to drag us in the middle of there fight. The second night we had 17 people in a 80 foot stretch so it was a bit noisy.We we're so close that the neighbors lights lit up our tent until after midnight. It wasn't what we were hoping for but we made due and the kids had a good time. I think the electric sites would be better but we won't be back to use the tent sites.
