Well we been going there for almost 40 years but since they went to volunteers at the park its not as freindly there are a lot of dogs running loose especially little dogs we take 3 big dogs and walk them and have dogs running up while we are walking and if there is a problem with the electric or water they have to call and takes a while to get fixed Gary used to run the gate and would have it fixed asap just not the same park i don't understand why we pay taxes and can't have decent parks to go to.

Friendly camp hosts. Close to National forest if you like to ride. VFW is really close if you’re interested in a cool spot to have a drink.

We love this campground and usually visit every year as we have family from this area and lost loved ones in Elisabeth Hall Cemetery.

I’ve camped here for several years and the restrooms/showers are steadily getting worse each yaar. This year the water temperature in the showers were Luke warm at best. The fish cleaning station needs to be repaired and set up like the one at Lake Nimrod, AR (Quarry Cove Campground). On a good note, the new Attendant (Chad Freeman) is a very good host. If the swimming area is never open, take it out and put in an area to dock boats. Also, need some shelters installed over the picnic tables are the campsites. This campground makes enough money annually to make the changes possible.
