Let’s start with the fact that our site said “water” - but it did NOT tell me I would need 60 freakin feet of hose & a splitter (Y) in order to use water from the site on the other side.
Speaking of water, at 10pm on a Saturday night the water went out & did not come back until 11am Sunday (on our way out)
No foliage upkeep at the site or the walk down to the river, grass high, trees down, etc.
If I had known that this camping trip would cost me an extra $60 just to use water - we would have chose a different spot.

We love this park but it has been neglected since we were here last. Grass was uncut, sites were trashed, bathhouse dirty, fish heads in campsite drawing flies with the bad smells. It was not the best experience. We cleaned up our site and hauled off two 5 gallon buckets of trash with fish parts to make it much more pleasant. Looks like the like of help may have been the problem. Ones that did show up did not do much. The park host at the gate was his normal friendly self but after leaving the gate it was down hill for as service. We will be back to see if things turn for the better because it is our favorite park. My wife and I understand that keeping a park clean is a everyday battle because we park hosted for the state parks in Texas for 6 years. We kept our loop clean and mowed and would still be doing so if our health had not failed us, but that is part of getting old. For the campers in the parks.....please pick up your trash !!!
If you are birders or just like owls this park is the number one park anywhere for owls. Day are night we have found a variety of owls in this park.

Beautiful location. Paved sites are level. Lots of shade trees. Fire pits, lantern hooks and picnic tables at each site. There was a camp host, but the camp sights contained a lot of limbs and debris. It didn't look as though it had been cleaned in a long time. Still one of my favorite locations.
