We ride a wave runner and we normally gas up before we get on the lake but, you know, sometimes it can’t be helped and you have to go to the marina. This one is really, really nice. We went there once in July or August of this past summer. There was an attendant outside to point us to the platform for parking the jet ski for refueling and he actually handled the refueling itself. He was very friendly and told us about the courtesy docks (they have ample courtesy docks as well as separate transient docks and, no, I don’t know what transient docks are). So, after refueling, we scooted over and tied up in a courtesy slip and walked up to the restaurant.
The boat launch looks nice, pretty straight forward, and no one was launching. It didn’t look busy at all. It looks like a 2 boat ramp, maybe a 3 boat if experts. I didn’t notice where the trailer parking was.
The camping sites (for RVs) looked nice, tree-​lined, and had a good view of the lake. I don’t remember seeing any tents, so this may be for RV camping only. One bonus, there is also a convenience store across the street nearby the camping and next door to the restaurant. That means you aren’t tied to the marina store hours.
The restaurant was okay. Nothing to write home about. I think we had hamburgers? Honestly, I don’t remember the food too well, so that says a lot. But on the lake, it doesn’t have to be great — just accessible and decent.
The lodging is behind the restaurant and they are single wide trailers. While that may not sound great, it means that your parking is GREAT if you are hauling a trailer. We’ve found the trailer to be a real problem at other places. We haven’t stayed here so I’ll leave that to another reviewer but I don’t see how you could have a good view of the lake from the trailers. You, however, have great access to everything you need for a great weekend.
