Nice things about this campground were a creek and small stream going past several campsites, plus lots of big trees. Some campsites had midday shade. But, you need to bring all your own water! It is not in easy walking distance to the reservoir.

The campground and facilities were clean and well-maintained. The camp host Marcel was friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. Nice trail right from the campground. We had no trouble getting there with our 24' trailer. I would not recommend for larger RVs. We had our two dogs with us and they had a great time.

Great experience over the July 4th weekend. Camping felt private and secluded even though the camp ground was full. The sites are spaced well, with a lot of trees in between. The Camp Host, Marcel, greeted us every day with a smile and he was willing to help with anything we needed. We purchased several bundles of wood and he helped get it to our campsite—no splinters necessary! :) Super appreciat... Great experience over the July 4th weekend.

I had 2 small cars and they said I had to pay for the extra car. Why? Both cars fit in the spot with extra room. Plus people had a truck and trailer, detached in their spot, And some didn’t fit in the spot. I can’t buy a truck so I have to bring both cars to fit all the camping gear.

I thought It was funny to pay for an extra car cause the garbages were completely overflowing right across from our tent, thank heavens no bears showed up. So we had to drive down to throw trash away. Then we go fishing and there are tons of people on paddle boards and instead of using the whole lake they come right over our lines. Someone actually got tangled in my husband’s fishing line. My family has gone here for years but it’s different now. 40 bucks for the night. bad fishing, no garbage and an extra 10$ charge. Gotta pinch every penny.
