Great low key site. Chuck, the campsite host, greeted us and was very informative of the current renovation that is still going on. Still a lot of work on the back sites, but will be back again. Park ranger did frequent drive throughs.

We got to the park ant it said it was closing due to extreme vandalism. The park’s facilities were all locked and there was just a port a potty there, the sites were a mess and out of all the sites there, only 2 were reserved July 4 weekend. There was no camp host, no check in and it was totally deserted except for two tent campers, one group looks like they had been there for a long time, they had a car but no license plate was on the car. We were to scared to stay so we left after walking around the entire campground, which looked totally abandoned. I would like my money back.

Could be a great campground if properly maintained. Never saw a ranger; campground was mostly deserted. Grounds were a mess and not maintained. Roads full of potholes. Power problems with high voltage (134); called ranger office and left message- no response so left earlier than planned. Lake and forest are full of natural beauty - a shame that it is so neglected.

This place was full of trash, run down and in much need of an upgrade. No visible obvious host. Road conditions horrible, RV sites not even gravel or paved trees not trimmed and low hanging. Had to use 2 waterhole at our site to reach water spigot. Dump Station "Roadway" not even paved or gravel with low hanging branches. We originally had a week booked, but plans changed and we had reduced our reservation to 1 night.... thank goodness!! Walked down by the lake, lots of trash and bottles everywhere and had been accumulating for some time. Has potential to be a nice park, if only had not be left neglected for years.... putting this one on my "Avoid" list.

I would not recommend staying here, not managed well or clean.
