Water was super low could not swim. Also was like camping on a busy street. We left.

You get what you pay for. The reservoir is woefully low and inaccessible. The RV camping/parking area is all gravel and along the road opposite of the lake. It was super hot that day too. I'd say take a pass.

Quiet campsite with amazing views of trees and water below. Level, smooth tenting spot and nice picnic table.

Very well maintained park with hard working staff. Our experience was dampen by the enormous number of flies which were unabated. Having booked our site weeks in advance and taking the only unreserved spot for a Wednesday/Thursday stay we were also astonished to find no other campers were occupying their reserved spots. The host explained that this was an ongoing problem......

We had a wonderful weekend camping at Mack's Creek Campground! Great view and close proximity to the park and swimming. We will definitely camp there again.

Very enjoyable. Docks and beach area were clean. Only downsides...a skunk decided to visit us and noisy neighbors

The camp host and rangers are so great and are working so hard, truly appreciate them. Drop bing ip on Sunday was a nightmare trying to get past the marina. Stuck in the traffic for 40 minutes was insane. No place to park a boat trailer as a registered guest. This has been my go to spot for twenty years. Hopefully next year things will be better.
