Came down to fish the barrier dam. If you don't have it or forgot it, this tackle shop has it! Friendly staff and shop pets. Very peaceful camp sites and many options to choose from.

I've been coming here for almost 25 years to buy gear and chat with the owners. Now I stop by with my 13 year old. Love the place!

Super cute campground. My couson is camping there during fishing season so I went there to drop stuff off. Very clean and quiet. I looooove the little store in front so vintage! Makes me want to camp there. Also bathrooms were really clean!!
