Great campground. Entrance is next to a golf course and there is a sign prohibiting vehicle traffic over 10 tons gross weight.. All the rules and regulations for this park do not mention a 10 ton gross weight limit and over 50% of the camping rigs in the park from my assessment were over 10 tons gross weight. For your information. I like to follow the rules and this sign is confusing.

Nice coe. Windy because most are right on the water. No hot water in showers. Luke warm but not hot. Not too busy. Never really saw a host. Was there 2 weeks. Was clean.

Beautiful campground! Our only complaint was the severe drop from camper to ground! Felt dangerous going g down the steps. Hope the bike trails are all connected in the near future!!

Campground is well maintained. Spots are nicely spaced apart. Staff were helpful and pleasant to deal with. Definitely will stay at this park again.

Facility was clean and well maintained. There are some sites that may present leveling problems due to their slope but site 061 did not. Camped with a diesel pusher (40 ft) and was able to level with just a set of rear jack pads.

Loved the location and the area. Easy access. Will definitely stay again!

Site#61 was significantly unlevel: side 2 side was good but back of site was quite a bit lower than front requiring 5 blocks under each of the auto leveling rear jacks. An Old concrete picnic table was obviously unmovable and uncomfortable. Fire pit was old and in poor condition. Site had a nearly 6 in. drop from RV pad to surrounding ground where picnic table & fire pit are. and entire site was sloped considerably downhill toward back of the site. Verizon cell service was spotty ranging from occasionally no service to 1-2Mbps 4G download speeds generally suitable for normal phone pc use like email & web browsing with occasional windows when video streaming works if you can tolerate frequent service interruptions. Showers located on site loop were good but nearby main shower-house was tiny showers with no restroom or sink facilities and antique showers that got everything in the room wet if not kept in a waterproof bag

A great place to camp! Campsites are well maintained. The fire pits were cleaned out. Gun creek has a nice shower house to use. The boat ramp is easy to get to with restrooms close. A nice play area for children.
