It was clean and kept up. The lake was down but it was a drought season. Nice and quiet.
Just what I expected.

The clean-up is going great just a little slow but the camp ground is looking great. Boat ramp is open. Only one section with 23 or 24 sites open the rest is still closed for clean-up and upgrades.

It was quite a bad trip this time! Brought my boat this time and parked it on the shore in front of my campsite. Being that the lake is so low there was nothing to tie the boat to so I stuck the foot of the motor down into the mud to keep it from floating off. The next morning the boat was gone! I reported it missing to the sheriff’s department and they contacted GDNR. It had floated off because of the lake water level was apparently raised that night. To make matters worse the next day after I got enough rope to tie it off, the Corp lowered the lake level and my boat was grounded in the mud and couldn’t be moved. So, to sum it up, the trees are gone and the lake level goes up and down unexpectedly without any warning to make our week stay a pretty miserable visit!

This park is fantastic. Spots are very spacious and room to roam the park. Seems like every spot looks good.

As always the COE campgrounds are the best. Everything is well maintained and the staff always friendly. With a senior pass I pay a fraction of the cost of other campgrounds. Thank you for making my camping experience a great experience!

There's lots of trees down which makes for good firewood if it doesn't rain. Not much to do here but relax. Publix and Walmart are close by if needed. Parts of the lake was dried out. Pictures showed that the water would be in front of us but it was non- existent. Bathroom was warm and clean until last day. Rain flooded the campsite. Need more gravel over the dirt in some areas of the campsite. It was quiet for the most part. I probably would not come back to this one. No hiking trails.
