Some of the campsites are very narrow and hard to get in with your camper. They did not keep toilets stocked with TP! (Even after I made it known to them.) So if you sat down before checking to make sure there was tp and it was empty, oh boy, you're in a dilemma. Not cool! The one shower house had NO hot water. My son tried 2 different showers but neither had hot water. And you have to pay for them so he was out that money. At the other shower house, one of the showers was out of commission. Sometimes you had to wait awhile before a shower was available. Trash receptacles were few and far between. Definitely some things they could improve on!

Absolutely fabulous location. Gorgeous lake, and pretty wooded sites. My husband grew up in Yosemite so the Midwest never meets his expectations, but he loves this campground! 4 stars because the showers with hot water require quarters which isn't the end of the world but the staff really should mention that at check in. Water hook ups would also be nice, but again not a deal breaker. Overall, beautiful campground and we will be back!

We stayed there this Memorial Day weekend. The bathrooms and showers were dirty. Fire pit not cleaned out and the park still needed some spring cleaning. There isn’t any place to put your trash close by. The quality of the park has gone down in the last 2 years

The campsite we had was decent size and was nice that it was by the water, but I'm giving them a 3 star because of a few different things. 1 was the prices on the website and on the sign in their office area was not accurate. Another being that there is no water hook-up (which would be okay since they have shower houses, but they charge you 50 cents for 5 minutes according to their site.) Lastly when at the dump station, there was no water hose hooked up to clean out your dump hose.

Is fishing allowed nearby?

A Solis | Mar 21, 2020
Rachel Hernandez | Mar 22, 2020

You cannot fish at the campground but I'm sure there is finishing nearby, there were plenty of boat launches and lots of fresh water. So as long as you have your fishing license and you aren't on private property you should be good.

What are the amps for the rv/trailer spots? 30, 50? Both? I also saw a question answered with a few different answers. Just to clarify...are the rv/trailer spots FULL hookup? Meaning, electric, water, and sewage? Or only PARTIAL hookup?

MC Crush | Mar 21, 2020
Heather Stickel | Mar 22, 2020

There are both 30 and 50 amp hookups - I believe each site has both. No water/sewage at sites. There is a dump station in the campground.

If we came on a Wednesday the last week of July, would we have trouble getting a campsite? Thank you
