Stayed here 5 nights. Hard to rate this site due to the high waters and bad weather we experienced the whole week. The high waters covered what was a nice beach (per previous post). The high winds and gloomy weather limited fishing. However, to not be a glass half empty guy, I'm going to add 1 star to compensate. I do feel this would have been a pretty solid site with a nice beach and good landing with lower waters. The kitchen and community area is quite spacious and there were a few nice hammock hanging trees and a couple decent tent pads. There were a few nice places to fish along the shoreline as well. I wasn't fond of the motorboat sounds, but I knew what I was signing up for on this lake. Probably won't do a motor boat lake again, but if they don't bother you, this would be a good site to spend a couple nights.

Solid Campsite with plenty of room, and a fabulous beach to boot.

We didn't stay at the site but spent an afternoon with the kids at the beach just down from it. It seemed to have a great view up and down the lake.
