    Pulling in on a mid-September Wednesday, we had plenty of sites to choose from. Here we are on site 409.

    Date of Visit: Sept 2013

    Most of the sites are in the woods, but have some grass around them and you don't have the feeling of being in the deep, dark woods. Here are site 406-407.

    Site 436

    scissortail09
    Site 433-432.

    Central water taps are scattered through the campground. There's one in the lower left corner of this picture. There was a hose running from it down to that site in the distance with the white 5th-wheel. I was a bit surprised that such connections were allowed.

    Sites 431 and 430 - 430 is a pull-through.

    Sites 427, 425.

    Site 425 is nice, large pull-through site.

    scissortail14
    Site 423 on the left would be my vote for the best site in the park, with its grand view of the lake. Only a handful of sites provide a water view.

    scissortail16
    Sites 423 and 424.

    scissortail17
    Sites 420-421.

    scissortail04
    The bathhouse was quite clean and offers free hot showers.

    scissortail07
    There's a playground for the kids and a pavilion.

    scissortail06
    There is a quite a variety of prices, depending upon the site, the day of the week, and your age. The park honors the Golden Age Pass, making our overnight stay only $7.50.
