  This is the best campground EVER! Please keep in mind this review is coming from a 20-something without kids. The staff here say there are no quiet hours and they mean it. The campground is behind a bar that rents out boats. They have real bathrooms and a shower (outdoor & VERY cold... but you're camping right?). They have a nice sand volleyball court and have fun activities (we've witnessed cardboard boat racing twice now - it's a riot!). The bartenders and staff go above & beyond to make your stay perfect. Out on the lake there's a big sandbar that everyone docks at to hang out. Bring a football/frisbee, a floaty & load the cooler. Last year there was a stand selling brats & sausages that were good & cheap.
  
  My group of friends from college have been here twice and we're going again later this month. We've had a really hard time finding good camping where we can also have fun. State parks don't allow drinking and yell at you for peeing in the woods (eye-roll). At this resort the owners encourage "site-hopping" where you take a beer with you and meander to the next site to visit with them. You'll leave with more friends than you came with.
  
  Don't get me wrong - there are plenty of kids & families. I think they try to move them to the back side of the campground to keep them away from the rowdier sites.
  
  Flashlight (or your phone) is key here. The grounds are not well lit (not a bad thing in my book). Getting to and from the bathroom at night is tricky in the dark, so I bring a small key-chain flashlight with me.
