Aside the showers being closed and the men’s bathroom toilets plugged up, it was ok.

Sites were jam packed and over occupancy. The double site next to me had 4 trailers packed in and the site next to that had 6 tents set up. Campers were loud. Dumpsters were overflowing and there was trash on the ground. No soap or paper towels were available in the bathrooms. Sites were very very close together. Don't think I would stay in this site again. Cane Loop 181

It's crowded on the weekend but to be expected as the lake is there. Only one dump station. There should be more, there was a long line on Sunday morning. The signs said the dump was only open 2 days a week for only a few hours. Luckily it is actually open 24/7.

This is a nice campground, with reasonable spacing between sites, water spigots located around the loops, lots of trash bins and the dump is open 24/7. But the line at the dump can be very long if you leave at a popular time (Sunday morning). As was mentioned elsewhere, people at this campground seem to run their generators all day long - it would be nice to have some quiet during the day. Thank goodness they seem to pay attention to the quiet hours. There are lots of nearby activities.
