A great place for family time at either rhr campground side vs day use side with the beach. Campground has a lot of variety of campsite size and hook ups. Bathrooms are well kept but a little on the older side (seems like). Downside, very little extra parking. In between sections so many miles of heavily wooded trails to choose from. Day use side is HUGE with ample parking, picnic spots and plenty of beach. Beach is very clean and lots of frontage for swimming. Awesome for large families.

We tried to hike the 10 mile mountain bike trail. We don't know how to read maps and used our phones to take us on a detour so we didn't get lost. Ended up walking 8 miles total. We will definitely be back in the fall when it's not so buggy!

Great lake but not one of the Great Lakes. Has islands, a float plane, a peninsula with a short portage across a road for paddlers and lots of nice houses and yards. The beach is nice and a good place to watch private planes and jets taking off. Clean water and Great paddling.

Such a beautiful area with many private, secluded camping spots that are tree covered (fully, some partially) and with grass, along with more open, sunny spots, and many that are conjoined by a mowed path for larger groups. There is a 1.8 mile trail from the campground to the beach. Alternatively, it's a quick drive to the beach parking areas. Jenny was SUPER helpful and full of great info and tips- thank you! The beach area is well maintained and the lawn area has many trees for shade, lots of picnic tables and grills. The beach is sandy and shallow enough for younger visitors but still swimmable for the adults. Nice for a long walk along the beach in the morning. The ONLY drawback is the number of airplanes that fly overhead as they take off or land...there are fewer of them (making it more quiet) in the am and pm but pretty noisy with frequent flights throughout the late morning, into the late afternoon/day. Still, I'll return and enjoy the camping and beach.

We love this park so much. The beach is beautiful and always clean. The trails are nice and it has a huge dog park that also seems very clean. Even when it’s busy, it is a very peaceful place.
