Love this campground for the campsites. Most of them were on the water, so immediate lake access. The bathrooms need updating but the showerhouses are good.

Beautiful setting on peninsula ring of RV sites. Gravel shores were perfect for launching kayaks and going for a swim.
Could not have asked for better.

Site 18 on the lakefront NOT suitable for tents. Neither is campsite 17. This site apparently only opened a couple weeks ago after April flooding. So much erosion damage: chunks of loose asphalt, dangerous 2ft drop from picnic table to unlevel fire ring, tripped navigating and luckily only minor scrapes. 6’2”ft could barely reach to hang trash on hook—too much erosion. We squeezed our tent on strip of rocky grass on a hill next to the road in 20”high unmoved grass (rest of camp was mowed) in a spot that is obviously goose nesting area. Lots of goose droppings and feathers. Picnic table shelter had wasp nests and worst spiders activity I’ve ever seen at a campsite. I don’t know if all the sites are this poorly maintained or just this one. Park attendant lady was nice and friendly but ultimately unable to help as all the sites were booked and we were not allowed to put tent anywhere but our site.
Bathrooms/ showers were clean. NO Playground; it’s obsolete rusted and covered with caution tape. Traffic noise from boats and vehicles crossing dam. Lucky that Site 17 campers didn’t come or our car would have literally been parked right next to their fire ring and too close to our tent. Swim beach had fish heads and parts as if someone recently cleaned their fish there.
Had great time trout fishing the tailwaters though as it was close by. Dam Store down the road also was nice and friendly.

Overall we had a great time. Plenty of room for all of our family. The only downfall was after spending $75 to rent Shelter 1, we had to keep asking people to move. They would come sit at our tables, use the electric outlets, or use the grill. The park didn’t give us any paperwork or put a sign up showing we had it reserved.

Excellent view!!! Large campsite, only downside we had another campsite directly opposite. No one occupied that site which was good, but it could have been a little tight since both #48 & #47 shared a drive? And #47 is a very small pad site (large truck size, 1ton).

Camp site dirty, ground level grill has melted plastic bottles and cigarette butts left n it by previous camper. When we came in early we were told we could look but could not get out of vehicle which we agreed to. Due to covid 19. When there was no one n the booth people not staying n the camp ground came and went at will, using the restroom and swim areas. They absolutely will not answer the phone when we called multiple times, multiple days.
