The lot 105 is not even close to being level. It's by far the worst site. Other than that, the park is fantastic. I have reservations there again on October for Halloween... NOT on 105

We arrived at 8pm on Saturday night. Our check-in was smooth. We went to our site and it was occupied by someone else and had been all day and the previous day. We returned to registration. The woman at registration called a ranger and he went to the site to find out what happened with the occupant. In the meantime, I asked her to find us a different site, as it was 8pm and we have a small baby. Our fifth wheel is 34 feet long, and at 8pm on a Saturday in June, available sites that fit our camper were slim. We took a list of possible sites out to the campground with us, chose a site, squeezed our camper on to a medium site, and returned to registration to tell her where we had set up. She told us that there had been a computer error, and the occupant of our booked site was legitimate.
I understand that things happen, and a computer error is possible, though this is also what one might say if someone had made a mistake. However, at 8pm on Saturday, clearly no one had checked that everyone on sites was supposed to be on them, and the sites that were empty were supposed to be. It just feels like a procedural issue that could have been caught long before we arrived late in the evening.
This campground is beautiful, right on the lake, and about 5 miles from I-69. Camp staff and other campers are very friendly. Many sites are small, and many sites are quite off level as they slope to the lake. We blocked up and leveled out just fine. Sites are also close together. The dump station takes two RVs at a time; as none of the sites have sewer or water, Sunday morning saw a line. We didn’t visit the beach or kayaks, but we definitely would if we return. We saw many campers with beach towels, small boats, and toys. We were passing through, so we were only there one night.
Our cell phones and tablets are on Verizon. We could make calls and receive texts, but data was a little sloppy. We tested out at 25 down and 0.1 up. With a booster, we got 25 down and 13 up.

We loved this site! Electric only, dump station available and water spigots throughout the park. This site was dirt but there were some paved sites in other areas of the campground. This is a big campground. Lots of roads and trails for walking.

Lovely beach, canoes, kayak and row boats for rent, nice small store with good selection of ice cream, usual necessities and wood for sale which they can sometimes deliver to your site. Showers were clean, plenty of hot water, although the floor was sandy by the end of the day, make sure you have flip flops or shower sandals.
Sites are various sizes and all with different degrees of levelness. Most of the sites are dirt which is not very nice when it rains. There are a few paved sites rated for disabled but anyone can book them.
20/30amp only, no water or sewer hookup though easy pull through dump and fresh fill up.
Fresh water faucets dotted around the park.
Very clean, well patrolled, very wooded but plenty of room per site for rig plus tent plus screen tent.
Very popular, noisy and booked most weekends and after staying here I can see why, nice family orientated park and wonderfully quiet during the week.
