Beautiful place to visit. We have stayed at a few different campsites and everyone of them have been incredible for their different attributes. 19,20, and 21 you can get into the water. 53 an absolute beautiful overlook into the bay like area filled with fish and bait. Cant wait to try 38 and 39. Site 42 is a dream. The Staff at the entrance are friendly and helpful. We were visited by park volunteers who shared fish stories and photos. Honestly we feel like were known there. Security was perfect expect someone to come around every hour or so. A rain storm was coming and the park ranger came to look out from the pier at the rain clouds across the lake. We stayed for the rain which quickly passed. Floating on our paddle board watching the rain bounce off of the water. Twin deer fawns and mom were wondering the campground. Honestly a day at the campground fulfills you as though you had a complete vacation. I visit almost every week now.

The park staff was very helpful. The camping area was clean and quiet with perfect views of the lake.

Literally no privacy from the neighboring sites. People were constantly walking through our site all day long with no consideration for privacy.
Also, there were multiple unattended children constantly walking through our site throwing rocks at wild ducks that were minding their own business. Once, their mother was there with them, and I asked them to stop throwing rocks at the wildlife, but their parents didn’t acknowledge anything and did nothing to stop their children’s actions. The campground hosts were inappropriate, including using the handicapped sites for their own use for their families and fishing throughout the day. The campground was listed as “full to capacity” but over half of the campsites were vacant the entire weekend!! They need to fix the recreation.gov website to prevent internet bots and third party people that keep buying up all the sites to resell at double the rate online!!

We had a nice time for the first time out this year even though the weather was not the best. The rest rooms were relatively clean and the hosts were very helpful. We did have some louder than necessary next door neighbors who arrived late (after 9:30) the first night and stayed up late the second night. They drove in and out of their spot several times and did not use the best language, arguing among themselves most of the evening. The other campers we met were very nice and many would stop to chat.

Sites are very unlevel and narrow

Very little privacy, pretty views, half the staff was not helpful.
The campground winds along the hills and around the lake offering pretty views and a decent hike around. The one way streets are good but also a little inconvenient for getting to the bathhouse (price you have to pay). The winding nature and hills is what leads to this not being a very private campground. You can see directly into your neighbors camp and then your other neighbor can see into yours.
Laundry is up. Went one morning in the middle of my stay to do some laundry at the bathhouse. Came back and some of my stuff (dogs leash, etc) was taken. When I spoke to the staff on duty they were like “well, *i* didn’t take your stuff.” And when I asked if maybe someone thought I had left and cleaned the site they responded “well *I* didn’t clean your site.” After much of them telling that they personally didn’t do anything wrong, they told me they had a cleaning crew whose job it was to clean the sites. Got in touch with them (super sweet girl, was just doing her job) and got my stuff back. NBD. I just didn’t like the attitudes of the camp hosts.
YOU REPRESENT THE CAMP, NOT JUST YOURSELF. Ugh.
