Very quiet laid back campground. We stayed on site 44. It was big and right on the lake. Sites 41 - 44 are prime sites. They are on a dead end loop and all lake side. With that said Its not easy booking a lake site. They are literally booked solid all year. There's no playground but we knew that going in. The lake is great for kayaking(again, right off the your site). The bathrooms and shower house are old but they were very clean. The showers have push button water. Kind of annoying but the water was hot and the water pressure was strong. There is a new dump station. I'm not sure how it looked before but there is 2 places to dump. We were able to dump quickly at around 930am. The deer flies were horrendous. As soon as I stepped out of my truck they were on my head. That was consistent the entire week. Maybe the heat played a factor in that. But it was ridiculously annoying. No brand or amount of bug spray helped. Possibly the only complaint was the fire pit. We stayed with family adjacent to our site. The fire pit is tall and built to have a fire in front. You cannot sit around it. If you want to get away for some peace and quiet this is the place. I highly recommend it.

I love how spaced out the sites are. There are some beautiful site on the water that we’ll choose next time. There’s more than 1 dump station which is very convenient. They offered free wood and toys for the kids. The bathrooms were clean …
