The campground is great and staff was great but since your can’t run generator all night in cold weather the camp ground needs electricity !!!!!

There are two reasons for my score:
The first is the photos of the campsite I picked (campsite #9) were angled so it appeared it was an isolated site while in actuality it was butted right up on site 10.
The second reason, and a more greivious issue, was the constant noise from Hwy 65. It sounded as though the highway ran straight through the campground.
I will never stay at this campground again.

Overall Tyler Bend is a nice campground. It was great to have a shower facility available but it definitely needs an upgrade. Also it didn't seem like the bathrooms were cleaned in the 3 days I was there. Site 4 was pretty nice, but it was very close to 5. These two sites together would be great for a group. Cell coverage is great, with multiple bars of Verizon 5G available at all times.

The campground sites were a little tricky to find, we would love to see an easier way to find the group sites especially at nighttime. But other than that we loved our experience and we had such a fun time at our campsite! thank you for such a fun weekend.

Would give it five stars except a camper fired up their generator at 6:30am right across from the camp host and nothing was said. No excuse for that. Generator hours are clearly posted 8am-8pm.

Campground is wonderfully well kept and a great place to stay. The night sky program was my absolute favorite part! Rory is so detailed and makes learning about the work that they do to preserve dark skies so fascinating. Overall a wonderful experience!
