Oh my gosh, I love my Betty Lou at the front desk at Old Federal! She provided the best customer service, and the greatest experience, gave me and my kid a bunch of cool washable tattoos that we had tons of fun with! Talk about a cool campground, has the best views of any campground on the lake! WE LOVE YOUUUUU BETTTYYYYY LOUUUUU!!!!

The entrance and exits are not easy to negotiate. The entrance causes a backup because those checking in block other reg campers since they don’t pull to the side to register. The exit is a tight squeeze between rock pillars.
