This campground was very nice. The sites were very roomy and our campsite #4 was easily accessible to the lake so we were able to fish from our site. The only issue we had was at this particular site we didn't have room for our
F-250 to fit were our popup was set up so we had to park at the overflow parking which is a bit of a distance if you have things to carry. The site is actually next to the end at a cul de sac which is a big area but they said incase of an emergency a firetruck would need to be able to turn around there. The bath house closes to us didn’t have hot water so that was a bummer. The park attendants were extremely nice though. And there was also police patrolling and sitting at the front gate all day long. We would definitely stay here again though.

Site was clean and had plenty of space, however there is a negative to this and other COE campgrounds in the area. The gate is locked from 10:30 pm till 7 am. This means if you like being locked in at night then this may be the place for you, but if you like to have freedom to come and go and visit the local area late in the evening or get out early then you will need to find somewhere else to stay. According to the rangers from the COE of this area, the gates are locked because of high crime in the area. We were told about the high crime rate when we arrived at the gate house for our stay.
