Beautiful area. Quiet and relaxing even during the busy season at the end of summer. Great for anyone who loves the outdoors, fishing, watersports and natural beauty. The campgrounds are immaculate as are the service areas and amenities provided. The hosts were always polite and helpful.

Weekend camping trip with my twin 4th grade boys, an end of summer getaway. Nice campground at Goose point, above the lake not right by the water. Sites are shady, somewhat secluded,well designed with water spigot and restroom/shower close by. The beach is a nice spot for the kids.

Great place to camp. I had a site on water and it was beautiful. Water level was the lowest I’ve ever seen it.

Well worth the $7 day pass. Great Beach picnic area bathrooms. I have never camped there but the campground looks great.
