Had the place nearly to ourselves. Great spot, very quiet. Lake was nice. Playgrounds perfect. Electric worked and fresh water is available along with a dump station. Only complaint is the extra fees for out of state plus day use. Took a $28 site to $40ish. Website is terrible to book with. Still a nice spot and it was wind protected against the 40 mph winds that day.
