This is not my idea of "camping". This is more like a "summer camp"! I stopped here to camp and fish on a road trip from Colorado to Canada.Overall, the place is nice and provides services like showers, playgrounds, swim beaches, etc. They do a decent job at keeping these amenities fairly clean. Many, many children running around playing (sometimes loud). Campsites are fairly close together and easily within view of each other. Boats on the lake were blasting music at midnight on one of my nights there.My campsite had a nice, flat, shaded area in the grass, but I was told I had to move my tent onto the driveway. This is not a level, gravel camping pad; but a rocky, uneven, (very hard) surface where you park your car. It was the equivalent of sleeping in the middle of a mountain road like we have in Colorado. Very uncomfortable.Most people coming to a place like this have extensive set ups, like RVs, campers or giant tents with cots. Many bikes and electric scooters buzzing around all day. Restaurants and bars nearby as well. I'm more of a backpacker and I found my stay here the least "outdoorsy" experience I can remember.It was nice to use my inflatable kayak to fish and the fishing was decent in mid July (small pike and bass).Overall I would add 1 star if I wasn't forced to set my tent up on the rocks when a perfectly nice section was available within my site on the grass.I think they do a decent job otherwise here, it's just not my idea of camping!
