This park is close by, but just far enough to be in a country-like setting. We are frequent tent campers and enjoyed this campground and its facilities. The owners and workers were very nice. We had the opportunity to do a little fishing in their very clean lake. They offer free canoe/kayak rentals, and have a nice sandy beach area, a rec hall with an arcade, pool tables and ping pong, and a basketball court. Our tent site (#58) was by far the most remote I've ever had at a campground: large with woods on all sides, perfect and quiet. Our firewood was dry, burned well, and was delivered to our tent site. The only downer was the showers. Although they are very clean and free, they didn't have a separate/private changing area. Only a common area, which isn't the most comfortable situation. We camped here in a Tent.

I WOULD NEVER CAMP AT THIS CAMPGROUND AGAIN!! On their website, which looked like a nice campground, they post the campground rules and regulations of which they state "Quiet hours will be maintained between the hours of 10pm and 8 am". This campground has a recreational hall in which they were hosting a function which included a loud DJ and lots of people screaming. As any camper knows, sound travels greatly through a campground. We were sitting around our campfire at about 9:30pm, trying to relax a little in between the blaring music and people screaming, when I finally called the office to find out when the function was going to end (figuring it would end at 10:00pm as stated in THEIR OWN RULES). The man at the office, which I believe was the owner of the campground, stated the function was going on until midnight!! We tried to sit by the campfire and ignore the noise a little longer but it just got worse. We called the desk and the man starting screaming at us that we were complaining and told us to leave the campground (hilarious......we got kicked off a campground because the owner was mad because he wasn't following HIS OWN RULES!!) By the time we packed up and left, at 10:20 pm, the music and partying continued just as loud as it was earlier. PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS CAMPGROUND!! APPARENTLY ANY RULES THEY STATE THEY FOLLOW ON THEIR CAMPGROUND ARE NOT THE RULES THAT THEY ACTUALLY FOLLOW. THE QUIET HOURS DO NOT BEGIN AT 10:00PM AS STATED. LOUD PARTYING IS ALLOWED UNTIL MIDNIGHT!!! THIS IS NOT A PLACE FOR RELAXATION!! ITS LIKE CAMPING NEXT TO A DANCE CLUB! We camped here in a Tent.
Definitely not a "Big Rig" campground. Dusty dirt roads that are tight, trees need to be cut back, and grass sites that are un-leveled. No sewer or 50amp services. Free boats but no longer offer free firewood. We arrived a day after rain and some areas of campground (roads and sites) had large ruts from rain runoff. Passport book said easy on/off interstate but is actually further than expected and not fun with big rigs. Although everyone was friendly, it seemed as though park is run by kids (teenagers). We camped here in a Motorhome.
Everything said in the other review is true. However, the waterfront sites are pretty close together and it is hard to figure out where one site begins and another ends. Nice folks who own the place and very helpful. Crowded and all, we will be back! We camped here in a Motorhome.
The web site for this campground call its self a resort campground. I've never been to a resort campground that doesn't have a fixed dump station. When I inquired about the dump station when I was making reservations I didn't get a straight answer. The bathrooms were clean but poorly laid out. The shower stalls had no hooks and there was no separate changing stalls. Only a community bench in the middle of the bathroom. Campground fire wood that they delivered to our site was not cut into small enough pieces and so green that it wouldn't burn at all. The lake was average. The beach was nice. We found everybody very friendly. I asked them to cut a stump down so I could get my trailer out and they did. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great campground, located on a small lake. New owner is always present and constantly upgrading this facility. New water filter system this year resulted in crystal clear drinking water. Free use of row boats, canoes. Mini golf, playground, sandy beach, game room, volley ball court. Lots of hiking trails and fantastic tent sites in the woods. Firewood is delivered free right to your site. Nice rv sites lakeside, amongst giant pine trees. Just a great place to kick back and get away from it all. No loud parties are allowed, and people who violate this are asked to leave. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
