We were really surprised by the quality of this park. We stayed for two nights in July, over a weekend, and it was surprisingly quiet. The hosts said that it's that kind of park - people come to relax, maybe get out on the lake, and it's generally very peaceful. The sites are big, with picnic benches and fire rings, and gravel with grass surround. They are very clean and tidy. The campground goes right down to the lake and there are also hiking trails. The showers and restrooms are clean. There is a dump station (watch for a bit of a slope there!) with water. Our site had electric and water hook ups. A big bonus given that this is a county park is that there was free, really fast wifi. Better than pretty much any private campground we've stayed at! There is a fishing store fairly nearby that sells firewood. Don't try buying beer in this area after 6pm on a Friday - apparently it's illegal, so if you'll be arriving late, bring some with you! Also, use the address on the booking confirmation (if you've booked in advance), as it doesn't come up in the right place on Google maps, so use your sat nav with the address. All in all, this was a really great campground and we would recommend it, especially for less than $30 a night.
