Lake was up and couldn't use boat ramp at camp grounds. This was a bad, but the lake is a flood control lake. But other then that it was a nice stay. Clean area.

Beautiful campground. Large campsites that aren’t too close together. The Lake level was up and our original site was closed. The staff worked extra hard with us, and our other family that was camping with us, to help us stay close together. Bathrooms were spotless. I recommend this campground.
