Signage is hard to see at night. Stop at gate to look at the map before heading in.

Great camping.
Lots to do in nearby Hot Springs or just relax around the campfire enjoying the beautiful lake.

Great sites! It would be better if people could seat around the Fire rings.

Very clean - the sites, the restrooms, the showers - were all in good shape. It was quiet at night and we had no issues during the day. A few boats came by during the morning with fishermen but that was no issue. The lakes in the area are VERY low right now (15+ feet down) due to lack of rain.

Campground was nice but the campground hosts/volunteers are feeding stray dogs. These dogs are running around the campground late at night barking and howling. No sleep.. I hope one these dogs don't get rabies and bite someone.
