Horseshoe Bend

The park was filthy with garbage scattered around a roletop dumpster that was overflowing and had been full for months. This garbage attacked a large group of buzzards that stayed around the campground for weeks. These buzzards actually picked out the rubber weatherstripping around the windshield of a car that was parked in a campsite across from me. They totally distorted this car paint with all the scratches. Also the bathrooms where totally nasty hadn't been fully cleaned in months. I camped for 14 days and only observed a cleaning one time during that time. He walked in with two roles of toilet paper and a spray bottle and I was camping across from one of the bathrooms. Luckily I have a camper that has its own bathroom. So I didn't have to use those nasty restrooms. Also the campsite hadn't been cleaned. The firepit was overflowing with ashes. The pit hadn't been cleaned all season. I noticed that all the firepits in the park was full. I was told by the park attendant that the Army Corps at Beaver lake canceled all cleaning contracts for the cleaners this year and no longer have a full time cleaner staying at the park to save money. So the hired a company and paid an outrageous rate to have them clean a couple hours a day or week as what it looked like to me.

I have been here 5th time now, everytime its a smooth experience.

I did not read the thing about no running water there. That is the only reason for not giving the campground a 5 star tating/

The camp host was VERY friendly, and couldn't have asked for a better time. Site 133 is our absolute favorite site, and we will continue to come back again and again. Only complaint is that the light in the men's vault toilets by our site was out, but that really wasn't an issue. They were clean and stocked with paper, so I was happy despite the light.

Camp host and park ranger were helpful to remove branches rubbing on our RV.

The campground is nice overall. Most of the sites have easy access to back in to the site. Our site however, and the other sites in our loop had terrible access to get into the site. It had a narrow single lane to come into the short loop with road edges washed out, leaving drop offs of 6-8" along many of the edges. Our site was rated 30' in length, should be no more than 20' max. A pull behind across from us took 30 minutes to get backed in, and a 15' camper beside us barely fit on a 15' site. All these sites on the small loops in this area need to be adjusted to only allow campers that can reasonably access them. After many years of Corps campsites this is the first time we had this issue.
