A very nice park. Big rig friendly. 50 & 30 amp. Water but no sewer. Free dump station. Gravel sites, nice & wide. Beautiful lake but no swimming. Didn't use bathrooms but they seemed nice enough. Pay to use showers. $160/wk elec & tax incl. max 14 days. Area for dog walking. They do need to put speed bumps on the road at the back of the park to slow people down. Good, free wifi at a gazebo. Only 2 channels on antenna. - Review provided by RV Park Recommendations & Reviews Facebook Group

This is a really nice lake, super pretty. We actually like that there weren't too many trees on the side of the lake we were at. My husband is allergic to a lot of pollen and a bunch of different trees so this was perfect. The fishing is great, but you have to get a permit first, so don't go there without one! I've heard of a few folks getting in trouble with the park authorities for that. The amenities are awesome, though. We've been camping in groups here for years and the kids love that they recently got wifi. they have situated camp-hookups, but I know a few people who have gone off to the more primitive sites and had a blast. We try not to do those because a lot of our camping time is spent near the lake and at their barbecue grills and fire rings. The hiking is awesome too! Definitely not too strenuous; I brought one of my veteran friends a few years back. He had a pretty severe limp from an injury, but had no trouble with the slopes. It's a really nice, relaxed camping spot. Two thumbs up from me and my family! - Review provided by RV Park Recommendations & Reviews Facebook Group
