Adjacent men's toilet and shower closed. Equipment on peninsula made noise intermittently all night. USACE did not respond to my phone message. Ranger drove by, but didn't say hello. The site was nice, but my exp

The campsite was beautiful! I was right by the marina and the lights were gorgeous. the rangers and store staff were so polite. I ended up getting lost because I basically had the run of the place. I hope to be back!!

Wonderful location with easy access to nearby towns. The park itself is clean and quiet but we were there in February!

Loop B has a very loud pump or something running numerous times throughout the day which makes it difficult to enjoy the escape. The location was otherwise nice but that sound was like a loud motorboat and could be heard from most every site in loop B. The road into the campground does pass through a few little creeks which may be of concern for some vehicles in rainy conditions. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay but probably would not return.

Very nice campground with exceptional views of the lake. A bit inconvenient that the men's showers and bathrooms closest to our site were out of order but driving to another for showers wasn't too bad. Definitely would return, maybe in summer to get more use of the lake for swimming and jetski.

Beautiful site. I removed one star because it’s a bit remote, not much to do if you’re not able to get on the water and the showers were really too small to use except the handicapped one.
For some people, being 30 minutes away from anything on a twisty road isn’t a problem. Same with the showers.
Cell service in some loops was good, but at my site (24) it dipped all the way down to one bar of LTE. I use AT&T.
Sites are level. Bathrooms are clean, hot water plentiful.
