The campground 5 basic loops. Two of the three have electric service. The showerhouses are very typical 1960's building in need of updating. The first (front) electric loop the sites were either somewhat uphill or downhill. Not a whole lot were level. The back electric loop had mostly level / shady sites. Sites on average were large. Both back two non-electric loops had some very nice lakefront ones. Most were full shade. Be aware, when coming here for the first time, the signage is very poor. The first sign coming from the north looks like it the entrance to the campground. Buts its actually the picnic area. The second sign has the word "campground" about half way into a paragraph. You have to be a fast reader to catch it. They only open a week before Memorial Day and into the 4th week of Sept. Its basally a boaters campground.
