Campground Summary
| Lakeside Rating | 2 out of 5 lakeside stars. While only a few sites offer proximity and a partial view with limited water access, it's important to note that the campground itself is situated near a sizable lake. This provides an excellent opportunity for a range of water activities, including swimming, paddling, boating, and fishing. So, while few sites are directly on the water, the campground's overall location still allows for enjoyable water-centric experiences. |
