This is a beautifully maintained campground. But if water access is important to you - this is not the campground for you. Waterfront is not easily walkable from the campsite. There is no beach area. There are swimming docks (in great shape). The walk to the picnic/swim access is less than easy so dont forget anything up at your campsite. Again, beautiful location but not ideal if you want to swim or fish during your stay.

This place is so beautiful. The campground and bathrooms were so clean. The views were amazing. Loved being right on the lake. The lady working there was so helpful too. We were going to switch to a different campsite because the same one wasnt available for all of the days we were there. She made it work so we didnt have to move everything mid-camp. Getting paddleboards and kayaks down to the lake is a pain. Its steep but we were able to keep them down there the whole time and it worked out perfectly.

Beautiful site, restrooms very clean and mostly not very stinky. Campground could use more potable water access points and more restrooms (IMO), noise from boats on the lake started early and continued past dark (but that's kinda to be expected). Access to the lake for swimming is not real good, trail is a trifle steep from campground and foliage along lake front must be navigated for lake access, there's no real "beach", and while access to the 2 docks is easy, I didn't see any ladders to help use either dock as ways to exit the lake after swimming. I booked both sites 7 and 8 on the Lower Loop, as we were camping with another couple, it's nice that sites 6-8 are semi-connected while remaining fairly private from each other. Access to sites 6 and 7 are semi-steep walk-ins, which is why I chose site 8 for myself, as it has the least steep access (I am 70 yr old female w/bad hips and back, hahaha). Overall we all had a very enjoyable experience, western views and sunsets were magnificent and other than boat noise, a very quiet and serene campground. Highly recommend!

It was a nice spot just no privacy from neighbors
