Our favorite site is # 50. It needs work on the drive way we can’t get our rv in this site without doing damage. Please fix this site so we can camp in it again.

I never seen so many anys! They invaded our camper. They were everywhere. Also, they had a lot of damage from a storm that was not cleaned up yet.

Campground was nice and quiet. Lots of shade. Lake was flooded so couldn’t do much on the lake. My only complaint with site 43 was that it was very sloped and hard to get my camper level. Other sites didn’t seem to be as steep as ours. Overall a nice place.

It was nice and clean but I didn’t get to stay very long in the morning because the weather turned bad and I was on my motorcycle and had to keep in front of it.

Waveland Park is absolutely gorgeous, which is why I've given this 4 stars, but the rest...well... We were in site 05, and camped with tents, which we found almost impossible. No soft ground and everything was on an incline. We ended up setting up our tent in the picnic area -- I had to bring in huge rocks to hold down my tent because we couldn't even stake it in. It seems like this may have just been the case for this particular spot, and I highly suggest they close the option for tent camping at 05. It was also directly adjacent to the dock. Which was loud super early in the morning and late at night. Unless you sleep like the dead, I definitely recommend not staying in this area. Some folks were very inconsiderate and partied into the night with loud music and yelling, quiet hours were not observed. Ants are still everywhere.
Absolutely NO ONE wore a mask. Not in their camp, public areas, and not in the bathroom. I was quite upset about that. But it seemed that the majority of campers were the anti-masking kind.
Given all of that, I don't think I would stay here again.

Ants are a big problem, make sure to bring something to keep them out of the camper and boat. Excellent stay and bath house is excellent.
