Every year this campground gets less user friendly. The water was not turned on until late and the fish cleaning station was never opened this year. The camp hosts are friendly and helpful, but whoever makes the decisions about services to the campground needs to up their game.

We really wanted to like this campground as there were definitely good things about it, but there were a couple of disappointments that weighed down our experience.

The Good:
1. Pot water was surprisingly good. We did a couple of big bike rides and we blew through the gallons we brought with us, so we had to use the pot water. Very surprised, it was fresh.

2. For vault toilets they were well tended to.

3. The sites as they are are great. Nice space and not too close to others.

The Bad:
1. While very pretty to look at, algae bloom made the lake inaccessible from the campground. I know this isn't something they can control, I get it, but I feel like they should advertise it at least (they had general signs up near the lake if what to look for in a bloom, but nothing that stated that a bloom was in effect). The lack of communication was the core issue.

2. Based on how we structured our trip, one of the reasons we chose this campground were the advertised showers. Little did we know that despite the signage, they were hidden away for the RV resort visitors. Again, clearer communication would've solved that.

3. Dusty AF. I get a little dust happens in a well-loved campsite, but at least our site had this dust that was thick and cakey. It got absolutely everywhere and was hard to clean up from.

All in all, I think this campground would be much better earlier in the season, like mid-July latest. Most our issues would probably be resolved due to fresher lake water and cooler temps that didn't lend to so much dust.

The campground was not ready for guests. The fish house was never opened. Water was not turned on until the 2nd day we were there. The lake was planted the second day after our arrival, and as a result, fishing was awful. The camping site was excellent.
