The campground is becoming dated . It’s time for an overhaul of the bathrooms and facilities . There is great access to the lake , boat ramps and swimming . The volunteers that are in place are very nice but they are of the age that they only contribute a small amount she the need is large , it’s not their fault , without them things would be much worse .

The weather could have been a little better but the rest of the time was relaxing. Nearby Hot Springs is a great city to visit with alot of attractions to see.

This is a great campground where 99% of the campsites are right on the lake. It is very clean and well maintained. We always stop there on our way to visit family in the South.
