Nice facilities. Plenty to do with fishing, hiking, boating and more. Primitive camping had a nice, shady layout and clean restrooms close by. Not a single tick or mosquito bite, so they must keep the premises bombed too. I'll definitely go back soon and after looking at the cabins, I might just do that and bring the whole family! The fish hatchery is 7 miles up the road and worth checking out for a little day time entertainment.
