"Very nice campground with large paved and grassed lots. Decent amount of trees. The back sides of F and G loops had quite a bit more action. We stayed in G20 that had a great view from our slide and a lot of shade throughout the day. We could just faintly hear the music and louder talking from the sections mentioned earlier. Attendants were both very nice. We would definitely return!"
"Nice place, well upkept, beautiful scenery, decent beach area, lots of hiking, still more there I haven't seen yet. Plans to visit again"
"Nice clean park, the beach is big and sandy. Campground is nice and spacious. Rv parking pads are a little narrow but enough room to fit your Rv. Bathroom could use upgrades."
"I really like this campground and the lake is very nice. However, it is hard for me to believe that this site has not flooded or had issues in the past. Meaning there should have been gravel, hay or some type of excavation to remedy the flooding. We came back from the lake and we could not get back in the camper without going through a puddle of water. I am pleased that there was another site available and they allowed us to move but the next morning there was another camper there. Update: my comments still stand from our previous visit. However, we stayed at another loop and it was a very pleasant experience. Staff at the entrance and check-in gate were very nice. The check in process was easy as well. Sites are really nice & level, there is plenty of room, and privacy at several sites. We went to the beach and it was very clean for it to be off season."
"There is an entrance fee per car, $7 for Indiana residents, $9 for everyone else. $70 for year pass for nonresident. As of the date of writing this: 7/19/20. We did not go into the campground. Didn't find out fees or look into that area at all. Attendant on duty. Sandy beach area was nicely maintained. Had a refreshment stand and restrooms. Lots of picnic tables, several outdoor grills, many restrooms, scattered at various parking areas. Fishing dock. Several trails, but not wheelchair accessible so can't comment on those as to difficulty or quality. Seemed odd that the sandy beach is opposite side of lake from campground. Did not see handicap accessible way to get from parking area to beach. Lots of birds, squirrels, chipmunks. Several native flower areas. Lots of naive tree species, including fully grown Buckeye, Sugar Maple, Honey Locust. Overall, a nice place to spend the day."
