The campground was very clean and well maintained. We had a problem with the 50A electric power on our site. Since it was Sunday, we were advised that a maintenance person would come fix the problem on Monday. He came as expected and quickly corrected the problem. He was very personable & friendly and he later returned with additional about other campground on Lake Carlyle. In my opinion, this is ABCD, Above & Beyond the Call of Duty.

One of the nicest campgrounds we have stayed at in all our years of camping. Beautiful grassy areas, space between sites, and lovely lake views. If we lived closer we would be visiting there often. Only suggestion is the campground needs another shower house.

We stayed in Site #27 - large, level, lots of shade, beautiful view of the lake. We enjoyed riding our bikes around the campground.
