Takes about 30 minutes to drive in from US26 on a newly paved road. Twisty but very smooth. We camped in loop c in our van Had possibly the most private site in the entire camp. Bonus: our very own wstet spicket across the riad!

Loops A&B are both RV and tent. Loop C is tent only.
Friendly camp hosts, water spigots at each bathroom, mostly level sites excellent for RV in Loops A&B.
Mosquitoes are quite thick
Last four miles to the campground are on paved road but very twisty.
Each site has picnic table and fire ring
If boater, just a short distance to the launch area.
Plenty of space along the lake shore for swimming and shallow area for kids
28' Class C motorhome
Some of the sites are reservable, but no hookups at this CG

We stayed at a non reservable spot. Host was very helpful locating a last minute spot. We enjoyed the reservoir and huckleberry picking too.
