I have hiked and kayaked here. This is a very secluded and quiet place. The trails are better than they were ten or fifteen years ago when I first explored a few of them. They are now well marked. There are nice views along the lake. Kayaking here was very peaceful. The staff are very nice and helpful.

This place is truly magical. Tranquil. Well maintained and managed. If you are looking to be off grid, in a beautiful 162 acre mountain setting, with very kind people, this is it. You are situated alongside the edge of a peaceful reservoir, where you can fish, paddleboard and kayak at your leisure (Craig Cats, GoBoats and motor powered fishing boats are available for half or daily rentals). My brother and I stayed here for over a week in a full hook up RV site, and did not want to leave. Michael, the on-site manager, is SO accommodating. He made us feel like family upon arrival. My brother needed a ride into town, and Michael did not hesitate to offer his truck. He has a kind of "niceness" that needs to exist everywhere in the world. Daryl, Michael's right hand man, is also very helpful and nice. He took my brother on an electric bike tour of the surrounding nature trails. Another thing to note - the site is dog friendly :) BUT you need to keep your animal leashed. Not just out of respect, but you will likely see bald eagles during your stay! Incredible! My brother has already been back for a second visit, and I most certainly will too.

Beautiful campground. The best sites are lakefront. Great park host. Nice, clean bathroom and shower house. The view is AMAZING!!!!! Worth the trip.
