"Reviewers consistently praise the campground as large, clean, and family-friendly with lots of outdoor activities (fishing, kayaking, biking, playgrounds, frisbee golf) and well-maintained facilities. Waterfront sites are a frequent highlight (sites 066–068 called out, with 068 noted as a kayak launch), staff are usually described as friendly/helpful, and the park works well for both summer and winter camping."
