Not as advertised. Owner needs to invest in the property. Overpriced for junky, dirty property.

Give it a couple years & TLC
Bathroom needs help. Shower was super hot OR freezing cold no In between. We stayed on a boat, cool concept but needed more blankets. I feel like in a couple years if they take the time and money and fix it up nice, it will be a really nice place because it has so much potential.

Gorgeous, quiet site right on the water. Clean portapotty available close by the site. This is a no frills spot that is great for relaxing.

The Lot - Beach Camping
Not fully what was expected. Beautiful Lake view but multiple sites close together with very limited parking and a bit of stagnant marsh smell instead of clean beach. Also more primitive than expected, bathroom facilities a drive away across busy highway in a questionable environment with rougher clientele all around (looked like a halfway house for homeless).

Directions
Loved this! When arriving be aware that it’ll take you on a place that looks like it’s someone’s driveway, follow the turn and you’ll be at the lot. When pulling in the first time we thought we got the address wrong, checked in with the manager on duty and we were in the right spot. Would’ve been nice to know ahead of time! So just be aware of that. Will absolutely be returning! Such a nice spot.
