We have stayed here multiple times over the years. Love it everytime. My husband does a lot of fishing. This trip was extra amazing because the a/c and bedding seems to be new and we have never had such good sleep! So comfy in the little cabins! Always love a getaway here!

Great Campground. Campsites Are Nice And Well Kept. Shower House Was Always Clean. Staff Super Friendly. Nice Boat Ramp. Massive Fishing Pier. We Were There For Hunting And The Dual Skinning Racks Came In Very Handy. Two Winches For Hanging And Skinning Game. Hose With Counter Tops For Cleaning Fish. The Cabins Are Nice! We Stayed In Our Travel Trailer. If We Draw Another Hunt In The Area We'll Definitely Stay At The Campground Again.

Nice park, well kept up. Need to pay attention to pad sizes as some are rather short.
