Site 49.
Sites 48 & 49 were booked for our families for the weekend, they are super close to one another fyi. The parking is similar to a Y shape and somewhat sloped. The stay was great, clean, and well maintained.
Bring firewood, ant spray, and plenty of lighting.
Gnats were absolutely terrible!

Site 6 was horrible for novice campers . It is extremely difficult to park in that site . The water connection was at least 15 ft from the electric box. Luckily we had 2 hoses to connect that just barely reached . Otherwise, the view of the lake from that site was great .

Awesome lake with lots of fishing and a small playground. Would love to see a basketball goal installed somewhere around park for teenagers.

Our trip was great except we were infested with ants. We had to throw a lot of our food away because they got in it.

We stayed in stop 06 and it was really rough to get our 25' camper backed in and leveled. We were able to get it settled in and it was a good stay. We did a little canoeing and the swim area was good for the kids. The lake has a lot of cypress trees in it and makes for good canoeing and kayaking.
