We arrived on a Saturday at about 1:00 PM and there were already quite a few rigs checking in as this campground (CG) focuses on Saturday to Saturday stays. However, our check in was quick due to them having enough competent staff. We were due to stay in the group/overflow (470-478 area) for a week, then move to the 456-460 area for 3 weeks as that was where we requested a site. We were asked to come back mid-week to get our new site assignment and pay for our stay. We headed to back-in site 477 with FHUs. However, when we arrived we found a trailer in the site and our 39’ 5th wheel would be tight in the spot due to the vegetation and trees on both sides. We tried to call the office, but we could not get enough of a Verizon signal. Site 478 was empty so we backed in and disconnected to head to the office. About that time, one of the CG workers came to get the rig in 477 as it was a CG rental. The CG worker had a radio and called the office to get approval for us to switch to site 478. Site 478 was wider plus on the end with some lake view. We did not back in as far into the site as we would have liked due to overhead tree branches. Due to the rig’s position on the site, we needed about 20’ of sewer hose plus the connection is not threaded and sits up about 6 inches making it tough to dump. I used sewer weights to keep my connector in the sewer hole. The 50/30/20 AMP box was not a problem nor was the water spigot that has 2 spigots, which was handy. We were here 2 years ago and stayed in site 452, and got a usable Verizon signal with our WeBoost and MiFi. This was not the case in the 470 area. We did get some random Verizon connectivity as it showed 2 bars but no internet. We decided to try their $2.95 internet connectivity for 24 hours on 2 devices. We connected a cell phone and our Weingard 2.0 and were pleased with the service, so we decided to pay for the monthly service. However, the monthly internet was not nearly as fast as the 24-hour service. We were not sure if this was a coincidence or not. Since our last stay, they had added a primitive/dry camping area and cut down on underaged golf cart driving. The multiple sites that are right on the lake are weekly site rentals with water and electric only but the CG does have a blackwater pump out service, and a dump station. We rented a pontoon boat at a reasonable price compared to other places we’ve visited. Hats off to the great lady (Cathy) in the office who worked hard and kept us in site 478 for our entire stay. This kept us from having to pack up and move, but also kept us closer to friends traveling with us. Overall, this is a well-run CG with a state park feel.

I hesitate to say really good things about this campground as I want to keep it for myself. If you request a reservation early enough like January 1st, you can score a lakefront site with a little beach to swim and keep your water toys on at night. All of the lakefront sites have water and electric, honey wagon service 3 times a week for $8 per visit and there is a really clean free dump in the campground. Verizon signal was 2 bars for calls & texting but sending pix was next to impossible from campground. Camp store has basics along with ice cream shop and a nice arcade. Really a destination vacation for a lot of campers many who have been coming here for 20 years or more. If I lived closer I would too.
