Beautiful lake andthe fishing is good . We stayed at site 306. Lake side Full concrete pad. 50/30/20 amp electric with water. Site was fairly level with a fire pit/ grill, lantern post and table.

Site was fairly level with a fire pit/ grill, lantern post and table. Great views and partial shade. Electric was stable and water pressure was good. Good reception of off air TV channels and got four bars on Verizon cellular. The sites in this loop are somewhat small but can accommodate medium sized rvs. Thre is no bath house on this loop so it's a bit of a walk to the nearest one in the # 4 section. The bath house there are clean and well stocked and best of all it has central air conditioning 👌. Campsites hosts are frendly and welcoming. Be aware of the small Argentina ants. They are very invasive, so be prepared. This is a great lake for boating and fishing with plenty of boat ramps and places to just pull up to the shore. There are convience stores on the way in to the campground to get any supplies. The campground is quiet and the night skies are great for stargazing. All in all, we had a good experience here and plan to return soon.

Great as usual. Quite this week, only 3 campers in this area so far. Very peaceful, just the deer running around.

It has a great view of the lake. The beach was very nice and clean. The campsite was also clean and in great shape. Nice roads all around the park. The restrooms and showers are good. I recommend if you tent camp in the 200s use the RV just 100yd away. The shower is better and more private.

The camp is clean and well kept, with many good access points to the lake. A private area is available for rental for a reasonable price, which includes 8-10 trailer pads with water and electric, private lake access, and a private pavilion with lights and restrooms and showers.
