Place was nice and quiet, it definitely needs some trees with that sun, also the restrooms still not working… I imagine since the flooding… but overall I enjoy my stay

Disaster! There were only three working showers for the entire campground, which was fully booked. The showers and toilets were extremely dirty and smelly. The facilities were disgusting and fell far below basic hygiene standards. It's hard to even consider this place a campground. It's a joke, not a campground. Stay away from this place!

MAKE SURE YOU GET THERE BEFORE 9!! Amazing camp ground just not actuate time on the closing of gates at night. Long story short on line it states gate closes at 10 but when i arrived at 10 the gate were closed with a sigh stating that it closes at 9. We had time constraints that made it so we had to come in that late but had to find somewhere else to stay. So over all camp ground was good just did not like the fact I had to pay for another camp site else were because of miss information of the campground. I would have planned differently if I knew it closed at 9 not 10. So if you are planing on staying here just be in before 9pm.

Super unlevel spots, showers closest to us were out of order, water spigots weren’t threaded so unable to attach a hose.

The ranger was very helpful in accomodating the changing lake level and ensuring that people could get their vehicles out safely.
The toilets did not work and 2/3 porta a potties were locked. The one remaining toiled for a camp of over 50 people did not have toilet paper.
It is a beautiful site and should remain open despite the changing lake levels.

Great cellular reception at a quiet lake location. Be advised, two entrance doors to individual shower facility are missing locking mechanisms. Dump stations / water access at this price point is a huge bonus.

Big open spaces! Way bigger than the pictures show! Wow! The pull through sites are very very easy to get into …we have a seventeen footer and a truck. The weather was nice in March. Book it!
