Reservations and arrival 

This was our first stay in this campground, and there is not any signage inside the park, other than the park sign when entering the area. There was no sign designating which direction for the campground when the road split (fortunately, google was correct). The campground is straight ahead on Park Lane when arriving from the south, and the picnic area is down the road to the right. The campground was not staffed in September, so we proceeded directly to our campsite. This campground has reservable sites and first come, first serve campsites. There are several great non-reservable sites on the water, and since our stay was off-season, we probably should have picked a site after arrival. We reserved a waterfront site online; however, the online photos do not provide enough information about the sites. I have provided some details about our campsite below.

Something to be aware of, that is not disclosed on the reservation site, is that the online photo of campsite 29 is not taken from the road. There is a dirt road area in front of this campsite, which gives it more privacy from the road; however, there are also two stumps in this area that stick up several inches. They were tall enough that we could not drive over them with our trailer. This made backing our trailer in a bit challenging. I would not suggest this campsite for anyone who wants easy parking.
