Dam Site River (Beaver Lake)

The sites at The Pines were wonderfully beautiful in November, although the sun went down early (4:30) since we were below the dam and it got a little chilly. The other campers were friendly and mostly quiet. The shower house/bathrooms were clean. We did look for a dumpster for a couple of days to dump our trash and then realized the camp host was picking up bags, possibly from the green posts at each site?? Plan on coming back next summer to see how it is in the warm weather under the Pines.

Park and Campground were clean. Met shortly after arrival by camp attendant/host to "check us in" and give us mirror hangers. Little disappointed that 4 bathroom unit at that campground had 3 locked. The only water source to fill holding tanks was at a trickle. Took 3 times as long as usual to fill holding tank. Access to dam overlooked locked. No trash receptacle to place trash , however we were told to leave at post. Overall, great trip over Thanksgiving!

Although we only stayed one night, we were very impressed by this campground. We spoke with the campground host and he was very helpful. The bathroom and showers were clean. The water in the river was shallow and clear our first day there. Around 7 am the next day a loud horn went off, signaling that they were going to be releasing water from the dam. Not long thereafter the water was released and the levels in the river went up about 6 ft. It came nowhere near any of the campsites so that is not a concern. We just found it pretty amazing. There are signs warning people to exit the water when that horn sounds, though. Best to heed those signs.
