Beautiful view from this site, although the site is a bit steep. People who had it reserved before us changed sites because they have a 44' fifth wheel and were afraid to park it on this site due to the steepness. We have a 25' trailer.

Very nice campground with lakeview sites. Be aware that some lake view sites are not level! We used every block and chock that we had to level our small trailer and the front was nearly flush to the concrete. Restroom and shower house was dated but reasonably clean. Lots of wildlife - wild turkeys made a daily circuit past our trailer. We stayed in the electric only loop which was wide open in September. The full hookup loop was pretty much full. We camped at Gun Creek Campground in a Travel Trailer.

Nice camp sites, shower house needs upgrades/remodeling. Host was friendly and knowledgeable.

Restrooms and showers in good condition. Our site had a bit of a steep slope toward the lake (55), but offered a good view and was OK for sleeping in our van.

Site 55 has a perfect view of the lake. The area was clean and peaceful! I would stay there again!

Campground and campsite were amazing. Staff was very friendly as well. Will def be back when in the area again.

Site was great for lake front. But it does have a good amount of slope so if you have a larger unit, it could be difficult to get level.

Crowded in some loops, but we were lucky enough to get a spot on the lake and it was much more private. Beautiful sunset. Clean bathrooms and good amenities. A little freeway noise, but not too bad.

Love this campground....the only problem is that many of the sites are not even near level. Have to be careful picking a site. Great views of the lake.

This is a great site, right on the water and only next to one other campsite. The only issue this site may pose for some is that it is rather slanted so you either need to drop the tongue or put the back up on lifts.
