Great little campground. All roads are paved and sites are level concrete pads, most are back in, which is easy to accomplish. Half are on the water side. Both sides can easily see the water. The area outside the RV door is level gravel with a sturdy picnic table covered by a metal roof. All areas have grass and the landscaping is well cared for. It was so interesting to walk to the lock and across it and watch the operation. the restrooms were clean, though ours at the east end didn't have a means to dry your hands and it was shut down mid-stay due to plumbing issues. Only observation for improvement would be MORE TREES. Some sites are well shaded, but most are not.

Campsite was very nice and quiet. The night gate lock could be improved. You have to exit your vehicle, open the lock (which by the way sticks and is hard to open), move the gates, and lock back up. No auto gate!

Nice little campground. Quiet and peaceful. Only downside was that we could not fish due to the dock being closed until repaired.
We will camp here again in the future

What a nice campground! Large sites, plenty of shade, birds galore...and watching the boats glide past as they wait for the lock and dam.
Bathrooms were well kept and clean, also. Friendly staff, always ready to help.

Sites are spacious and level. Bath house clean and smells fresh. No trash anywhere in the park! Great road to walk dogs made it nice for my pet too. The sunsets were amazing. Camp hosts visible and friendly. Mike was especially welcoming upon our arrival.
