The only thing was the bathrooms did not have soap and the sink didn’t work. Washing hands is a must after using the bathroom.

Weather was not good so a little disappointed. Please put some gravel or dirt around the pads so there won’t be such a step down!!!!

Quiet, waterfront with entry shoreline. Nightly sunsets. Lots of green space. Trails nearby. Clean, heated restrooms and showers.

Got there on a cold night in January. Seemed nice, but didn’t stay all night so I didn’t get to see it during the day. I was looking forward to a nice long hot shower but was disappointed. Although the bathhouse is heated hot water goes quick didn’t get my soap off so had to rinse with lukewarm. I’ll probably stick to my usual lake ouachita campsites and spend my money there in the future.
