We had a great site, #27. Wonderful view and FHU. The pad is unlevel, we had to put 3" of boards on the street side of the camper. Weather wasn't the greatest, so we plan on visiting this campground again in the future.

pad had more severe angle than anticipated so the wheels were off the ground. needed stones to make the stairs accessible
other than that excellent place to stay

Everything was great except the site pad #27, that we stayed on, was all cracked up and very unlevel from side to side

Only stayed a few nights but the view, the size of the campsite, and the privacy was great. Several sites are pretty Unlevel so bring plenty of stuff to level.

Site 27 is big and spacious and on the lake, but it slopes towards the lake A LOT. Make sure you have plenty of options (levelers, pieces of solid wood, etc) with you because you will need most of them. This also means if your door is in the back of your camper, you will have a very big first step up. The neighbors were leaving as we were pulling in and gave us 2 cinder blocks they had to go buy for their stay because site 26 is exactly the same. We left them for the next folks. One other issue with site 27 is “privacy”. Since you’re on the lake, lots of people come down to the shoreline to look around or fish. I have no problem with that. What I do have an issue with is people and unaccompanied kids walking/running in between my truck/camper or camper/picnic table to get to the lake. There is plenty of space in between sites to get to the lake without walking right through someone’s personal area. If you want privacy and are going on a weekend, this is not the site for you.
