Family had an awesome time! We caught so many fish catfish, sand bass, crappy, and some perch. Rooms were perfect size and very clean. There are areas to cook out by the water and enjoy the peace & quiet. We really enjoyed ourselves and can’t wait to go back.

Recently updated. Boat ramp is now excellent and is only $5.00 for the day to launch. Marina is clean, well stocked and very friendly staff that greats you when you walk in. Food is great with great portion sizes and good value for the price.

I have stayed here on several occasions and can say it is a friendly place and has a really good atmosphere. The RV sites are very adequate for the location and the access to a boat ramp and dock is great. I will continue to stay here in the future and will recommend it to anyone asking.
