Site 53: Pros-There are only 4 well spaced out sites OUT on the peninsula, 53, being the best having some shade trees. The view of the lake is beautiful & you get awesome sunrises & sunsets. 2 sinks available at bathhouse for washing dishes. Cons-You can NOT drive to or park on your site. You have to carry in ALL your gear, about 100 yards. There is a water treatment facility about 150 yards away that runs 24/7 going on & off about every 20 minutes. It is very loud & VERY annoying. The wind is brutal. Be sure your tent is well staked & any awnings. We had gust well over 45 mph. during a storm. There was no water or soap at the bathroom sinks. Store closes at 4:30 & does NOT sell firewood. There is a Dollar General & Velero gas station at the turnoff for the park. Velero sells block ice. Closest grocery store is back at Hot Springs.

We had bikes stolen. Wish there were full hookups, park host are extremely nice and helpful. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience. I would return.

We stayed in the tent sites near the campers swim beach. The campground is nice and the lake is beautiful. If you stay in these sites make sure you are ready for some potential wind and your tent can handle it. When we stayed here the wind picked up during a storm and never let up. We ended up dropping the tent and sleeping in the car. Multiple tents were damaged.

The campground generator is near by and goes off throughout the night. You can sleep through it but it's not the quiet sounds of the lake you were likely camping here for. This is a nice campground but I wouldn't stay up near the campground swim beach if storms are in the forecast.

The showers were dirty every day. Wet hair on the floor. I went right after the cleaning people were there thinking it would be better. There was no running water in the womens restroom in area B. No hot water in the showers, Very disapointing.

The spot was a perfect spot. I would just look out for weather during the stay. We got caught up in a storm during the week of our stay and had sleep in bathrooms that night. Very close to the lake. They say this spot seems to get more of wind etc.... But we had a wonderful time though the storm and all!!! Going into hot springs they have some great trails.
