The bathrooms had very little TP Paper, we were sharing a roll that was almost gone between two stalls. The toilet needed to be flushed twice, very carefully. I frequently needed to flush before I could even use it. The stall door would not even latch closed, the latch was GONE!

The site had clean restrooms with running water, which even included a shower! It's right by the lake so has a good view. Recommended!

lake was nice ,boat ramp was GREAT! Restrooms were in bad shape ,no lights in the restroom at night, too much traffic at night , loud music from other campers. ARMY Engineers should NOT contract out service , .. overall experience was terrible!!

I understand staffing with shortages, but the bunch of guys next to our campsite were disrespectful and not observing the 10:00p.m. quiet time. They blared their music, tales very loud, had a fight amongst each other at 1:30a.m. Wish there was a ranger on duty.
Bathroom had no toilet paper, one door did not have a lock to keep door shut.
Campsite was nice, lots of shade.

Nice big sites. Easy RV parking. Didn’t see any camp host roaming around. Site could have used some cleanup.
