Not a low cost campground.
$20 per night per person for unpowered site and $22 per night per person for powered site. Have a pay $1 per 6 minute shower.
It’s a beautiful campground on the lake but it’s 1.3kms long and kitchen/showers are in the middle, so it’s an awful long trip to use them if you are at one of the ends of the campground. Luckily toilets are spread throughout.

Excellent campground.
Very quiet and quaint, all sites are close to facilities which is good. Owner is very friendly, nice and helpful. We stayed two nights and would highly recommend. It’s a unique campground with an old school stove in the kitchen and colourful sinks in the bathrooms. If you are looking for modern campground with high powered showers this isn’t for you but if your looking for a quiet, nice and relaxing place with character, then stay here!

Staff were friendly at check in.
Told us where to park but it was full so ended up parked on a powered site. Facilities are nice but people live here and there’s a bar as part of the lodge, so can get a bit noisy.
The people on the site next to us started blasting music as 2.30am and woke everyone up. Then the people in the cabins started yelling at them to shut the f up and turn is the f’ing music.
When I went to the toilet at 2.45am, I got chased by a large dog that bailed me up in the corner and I couldn’t get away. I was terrified but luckily a guy came and scared it away.
We probably just had a bad experience but we wouldn’t stay again.

Beautiful spot by the lake, very peaceful and tranquil.
Free campground so that’s always nice. Good long drop. Highly recommend. Bring the mosquito repellent.
