Glad to see the reduction in squirrels.
The planting of new trees. Can't wait till they are big enough to provide shade. Just wish there was more water hydrants.

Was lucky enough to get a FHU site for three nights. The site was very clean, level and had beautiful views of the lake. It was rather windy. Our grandsons loved playing on the rocks along the lake.

We were right on the Carlyle Lake. The view was stunning. Our stay had a rainy start but a wonderful finish.

Coles Creek campground is kept very clean and love that most of the campsites are right on the lake. It is our favorite place to go and we live in Missouri
