We had a great site on the water. Big rigs be careful choosing your site. There are a lot of trees and not all sites are level. We were in a 35 ft 5th wheel.

Decent site but very close to neighbors. Each firepit is in clear view of each other. Road is narrow and backing in may prove challenging for some. There's a slight downhill into the site which would probably make leveling anything longer than 30 ft front to back difficult or impossible. Our trailer is just shy of 29 ft and with the trailer jack fully retracted we were able to get there.
Utilities are standard. No problems with those. Cleanliness left a little to be desired. Picnic table was very dirty (easy to cover up with a table cloth, and there were cigarette butts everywhere.
We were able to keep an eye on the kids at the playground from the site which was nice and would be great during the summer if they were playing in the water. Overall, not bad for a weekend getaway.

Beautiful views of the lake. Remote location was very quiet and peaceful in early March when we visited. Park is kept up very well. We did not use the camp restroom facilities while we were there so cannot comment on their condition.

This was a very pretty campground. Short drive to the Hot Springs and plenty of good hiking.

The campground is older with smaller sites that do not have concrete pads. The area and lake are beautiful. Picnic tables are aluminum instead of concrete or wood and metal. They are easy to clean, comfortable and large. Overall the campground is okay but some of the sites are very difficult to get into if your camper/RV is more than 27 feet long.

The views are amazing. The water is clear. The bath house is so so. It is well equipped but dirty. The sites are not even close to level. The rangers are friendly and helpful. I would stay there again
