Restrooms could have been swept better but then it has been a year since anyone’s been here. Besides that it was very nice campground. Quite and everyone was Pleasant.

We hadn't been here since the 80's, boy has it changed! The marina..gone, the store...gone, Army Corp of engineers took it all over and very little private places remain. It was 108 in August and Trimmer has no electricity and very little water, we moved to another campground the juice went out hours after we arrived so no A/C. It was HOT and me and my 86 year old Dad got in trouble by the only boat on the lake, a Ranger throwing her weight around because we were swimming too close to the boat launch, no boats in site! Lake was like GLASS, that hasn't changed and if I still water skied I can't imagine any better water, which was like 85deg
