We were at Site 48 and camp in a tent. This spot was so very nice, like luxury tent camping on a small island on your own private half acre spot. There was shade all day, and the showers/restroom were just steps away, and there's so much space around the site with only Site 47 nearby. I wouldn't recommend either site if you have an RV or need to back a trailer in. There's a long drive into a "T" with 48 on the left and 47 on the right. Our neighbor managed to back their trailer into 47 but it was a challenge. Both sites really should be just for tents, but if you are proficient at backing up a trailer, you'll appreciate the shade available at either site. Most of the sites around the perimeter of the island have very little shade but many are pull through spots for RVs.
The restrooms where good though there's no hand soap or sanitizer at the sinks. The women's ran out of tissue paper, but we came prepared. Showers are good, water is warm and the restrooms stayed clean during our 3 night stay. There are power outlets at each of the sinks. We never did see where to fill up water jugs but brought plenty of water with us.
Overall, having site 48 (with a tent) made this one of the best campgrounds we've ever been to; certainly in the top 3.

Had an amazing trip! We stayed at site 28 and our only complaint was that the drive to the campsite was shared with site 29.

We had a great time at Beaver Lake. The water is clear, so if you have snorkeling gear, bring it. We stayed at site #29, great view, but very tight. You share a driveway with your neighbor at #28, so there is not a lot of extra room. Fortunately, we have a smaller teardrop camper, so it worked out ok.
Be prepared for some wind if you are staying there, always had a breeze!

My son and I had a great time while camping here. It was a perfect spot in the shade with a walkway to the water. I am keeping a note of it so we can return to the same one in the future.
