What campers say

This is a rustic, waterfront state forest campground with strong lake views, a swim-friendly beach and a convenient boat launch—popular with anglers and boaters. Sites vary: front-row spots fill early and offer privacy, while back sites sit near marshy ground and can be small or buggy. Amenities are basic (hand-pump potable water, vault/hole toilets) and maintenance appears limited at times, so bathrooms and trash can be inconsistent. Expect mosquitoes, raccoons and occasional boat noise on busy weekends. It’s peaceful and scenic if you’re prepared for primitive conditions and the tradeoffs of a low‑service site.
