(0 out of 0 members found this review useful.)This one takes me back to childhood. I have been here a couple of times through a VFW program, some of the most special times of my life has been here, I wish I could remember them better. I definitely want to go here as an adult.

(6 out of 6 members found this review useful.)I took my friends here as an experiment in rustinc camping. They don't camp a whole lot but all of us enjoyed this campground. The sites are wooded allowing a some privacy. The toilets are vault toilets but they are the cleanest out houses I've seen at a state park. Plus there are hiking trails along the lake with easy access to them. After we got home We planned another trip out there. Overall this is a great place.
