Very nice, clean, enjoyable campsite! We stayed up in site #35, which was a very nice tent site with an overlook to the lake. Nicely shaded, ample space to the site for us (one person + one dog). Minimal noise, and close enough to the rest of the campsites that it felt safe, but far enough away that I didn’t have issues with people being too close/disturbing me!

Cell service with AT&T was perfect once up the mountain/past the first loop of campsites.

Only downside was having to hide in the (clean!) bathrooms to avoid the tornado!

I would definitely recommend a campsite in the upper loops, as the lower ones by the marina are close to the busy day use area/a bit too close together for my personal taste.

We camped here to be close to Hot Springs, but it was beautiful here too. When we went out was a bit cold, but we still had a lot of fun, just made it harder to grill.

Overall a nice stay. Beautiful camp sight. It was early in the year so cold & some water sources not yet on. Good idea to bring a bike given the nice paved roads

Beautiful campground! Access can be a little tricky after big rains like we had. Road was flooded in4-5 places. Barely got thru in a RAV4. Would not have tried it in a sedan. A wonderful scenic location!

Great place for a spring break for these from the North :D. One of the best campground I ever stayed. Beautiful landscapes, almost each site being a waterfront (or almost waterfront), Very clear lake and very nice people :D

Brady mountain offers beautiful views of the lake. Even though weather was a factor, we had a great time. We left a day early due to upcoming severe storms approaching. I would recommend this park for anyone who just wants to relax and enjoy the views.

The park was very nice. Well maintained and clean. There were no check in slips at the gate and the next day when returning from an excursion I found one filled out and attached to my post. The restrooms were clean and shower had ample hot water. Loved the area! National Park, race track, gardens and digging for gems were a hit with the grandchildren!
