Awesome campground but super buggy (7/15-16)! It was funny though it seemed like some sites were much more affected by bugs than others. We were distanced from the lake but at dusk and morning the bugs were pretty intolerable even with insect repellant and a smokey fire going. We will definitely be back when it’s a little cooler and hopefully less buggy. Otherwise, great little campground with go... Awesome campground but super buggy (7/15-16)!

The host came by to check in and we bought some firewood from him.

10 out of 10 best camp ground I have visited so far. Amazing place for fishing, camping, has a bathroom nearby, absolutely gorgeous views, fire pits with grate, and tables for eating.

Lovely campground, well-maintained and clean. The sites are first come first served, and we got here at about noon on a Friday and there were several open spots. They were all gone by about 4 though, so if you're coming on a weekend be sure to get here early. There are pit toilets and water spigots, but the water was a little iffy--it was orange/yellow and had a lots of particulate stuff in it. We... Lovely campground, well-maintained and clean.

There are pit toilets and water spigots, but the water was a little iffy--it was orange/yellow and had a lots of particulate stuff in it. We had enough water in our car, so we just drank that instead. All the sites have fire pits and picnic tables, which is nice. The days are beautiful and the nights are cool and there's plenty of things to do at the lake--fishing, canoeing, etc. There's also a foot path all the way around the lake, we walked it with a 3-year-old in about 25 minutes. Be aware of the campsite fees and extra vehicle fees when you come. We loved it here and will definitely come back again.

Very nice, small campground. Right on a beautiful lake. A nice 10 minute walk around the lake filled with lilys.
