Lovely grounds. Beautiful mature trees. Good for trailer or tent camping

This is a beautiful park! The campsites are so roomy. The odd numbered sites on the outside of the circle are super private. There is only one shower in the women's bathroom but it's quite large and roomy. For hot water just barely turn on the faucet if you turn it too far it goes right to cold. Campground maintenance staff is very friendly and helpful also.

Love the picnic/play area. Wide open and secluded at the same time, it's very peaceful. The bathroom is right there by the play area as well. Beautiful park :)

Questions & Answers

Is there access to a boat ramp around?

Dylan Clubine | Oct 17, 2020
Anthony Gonzalez | Oct 17, 2020

Honestly, i do not recall ever seeing one. I'm pretty sure everyone has to carry their boats to the lake, which luckily isn't a far walk so just in case, I'd keep the Yacht and Speed Boat ar home and try something smaller like ehhhh...maybe a canoe? Lol :)

Do they have water hook ups? Or a place to fill with water hydrant?

They have a hydrant to fill your tank. They do not have water hook ups that I know of. They have an offsite dump station in town that you use to empty your tanks at. The park is very pretty I highly recommend camping there.
