Camp Host was great. The only complaint is there are lots of mosquitoes and we couldn’t find our insect repellent. That’s more on us though.

Campground is obviously not taken care of. The grass is dry and crunchy. It would be advantageous to the forest service To put in a boat check so people will be back and canal company is satisfied. Everything is so overgrown around the water and campers aren’t allowed to do anything but swim, no boats, no skiing, or any kind of floaty. It is hard to get down to the water to even fish. I don’t think that the fish have been restocked for years. It is full of carp. This reservoir was always packed with people And it was taken care of. Now your just Collecting a site fee. No one is satisfied. We have decided not to have our family reunion there next year. It’s very sad.

The attendant was friendly and is doing a great job maintaining and sprucing up this older camp ground. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely return again when in the area.

The new camp host is incredible. They have implemented improvements to keep the campground green and clean. The campground is definitely making a comeback, and I would recommend it to anyone.

We spent the weekend in #8. We had some absolutely gorgeous views in this spot. There was a storm while we camped so we really got some phenomenal all around views. The bathrooms were very clean. Camp host is new but friendly. The roads were well maintained.
The only negative we had was the other campers who blew through right next to the camp sites at full speed kicking up dust.
