The campground location and layout was very good. The main bath and shower building was NOT cleaned at all the weekend of July 10th-13th. The same toothpaste seal sat on filthy bathroom counter. I know someone was aware it was filthy because they did empty the trash and refilled the toilet paper but nothing was actually cleaned. We chose this campground specifically for its facilities and we we disappointed and disgusted.

We originally reserved site 19 which is a long pull-through that is basically a wide spot on the road. Trees sticking out in middle of 'wide spot' forced us to park our 5th wheel too far out into the campground road. We spotted site 7, a first-come first-serve site and called the phone number on the off-duty camp host pickup truck. The companies main office was very helpful and in about 10 minutes transferred our reservation to site 7. This site is a pull-through that was able to easilu accommodated our 40 ft long Brinkley. In addition, the site had a very nice picnic table just below the paved pull-through, a fire ring and 3 flat spots for tents. The site was private, quiet and shady except for the pull-through so our solar could recharge the batteries every day. Driving through the campground was very tight in a few spots due to tree branches overhanging or hanging into campground road. If some effort the host could keep the main road more clear. I do not recommend using this campground with anything larger than 40 feet until major pruning is completed.

It was cool, you gotta find these "stairs" on the cliff face to get to the water. I went when the water level was lower, like 35 feet lower or smth. I would recommend

Large camp sites with plenty of privacy, ideal location by both the cliffs and the lake. Bathrooms are not cleaned or checked regularly.

The campsite was nice and the view overlooking the lake was great. However I agree with another commenter with the condition of the restrooms. At least the men's room was extremely dirty, the hand dryer didn't work, there was a broken shower seat on the floor, the shower drain was clogged, and there were no shower curtains making it difficult to keep your clean clothes dry. The cleaning log was signed everyday that it had been cleaned, but that was false.
