Very nice park with an excellent swimming area for the kiddos. Wish the weather would have been a little warmer so we could have enjoyed it more , but overall a great camping experience

A great campground on the lake. When all of the big campgrounds are booked, this was a nice place away. They had a playground and a little beach. The sites were pretty level and the bathrooms decent. Hot Springs was a short drive away and fairly disappointing as to things to do. The Crystal Vista hike about 25 minutes West was a hit with adults and children for digging in the dirt and finding quartz crystals.

Quiet, spacious and clean. Walking trails right from campsite which was great.
Look forward to returning for a longer stay!

Wonderful family place. Lots to do and see. Hot Springs is about 18 miles away. Beautiful place to stay.

Normally a great place to stay. Nice, clean but had a problem. Still winter time and no hot water. The hot water for showers wasn't turned on. Nothing broken just not turned on. Not a big problem in the summer but when the temps are around 40-50 a ice cold shower sucks.

Great home base for mountain biking. Campground right in the middle of the lake and the LOViT Trail passes right through it. Campsites right on the lake. Definitely will return.
