This is a really nice campground to stay at. The bathrooms were clean and the campground itself was well keeped.
The attendants were never seen the entire 5 day stay, even both times we tried to check in they were not around (this was at 3pm on the day we arrived and the next morning).

Scenery was beautiful! Nice views of the lake and Mt. Magazine from the entire park. However, there are no signs for the camp site areas so it's extremely difficult to find your site after dark. Nowhere to purchase firewood so be prepared.

No room to park your boat near your camp site, unless you like to park it off a deep raven. I guess they built the park to come and look at the lake.

Loved the camping grounds, only had one night stay, but the evening and morning photos were great. wish they would not have been booked up so we could have spent more time. We know how to book for next time! We know it will be great. It is a beautiful park, Boating, Fishing, Hiking, Taking Beautiful Photos, all a great camping ground has to offer. Oh and things for the kids. Our time was short but great!
We Recommend This Camp Ground.
Happy Tent Camper

Very nice place, wish there was more spots and property management more efficient. Also would be nice to add some kind of benefit of canceling the reservation if someone is not commiing , like future credit or partial credit.it would help last minute campers to utilize not occupied spots
