"great place to hang out, very peaceful with beautiful nature. Also includes a designated play area for kids"
"Very clean, well maintained park with nice RV campsites. We camped in a 34' motorhome and had plenty of room. Park offers water and electric hookups at each site, along with a picnic table and firepit. Sites are nicely paved and level. Good bath/shower house available as well. Beautiful lake view from several sites. RV dump station onsite."
