Some mention

small

"Reviewers overwhelmingly praise Alum Creek Campground (J–R) as a well‑maintained, family‑friendly park with private, wooded sites and lots of on‑site activities. Clean restrooms/showers, friendly staff, plentiful full‑hookup and paved sites, a small campers' beach and a paved boat launch make it popular for RVs, tents, fishing and day activities. Guests also note it can fill up and some services are reduced in the off‑season."
