Stayed at site 181. Nice site, only problem is table can’t be moved and the way the site is set up the table and fire pit are behind the RV instead of on the side with the door. Power is also down the steps and an extension cord may be needed if your cord is t very long. Other than that it’s a very nice campground.

While camping at coon Creek I decided to tour the other 3 campgrounds. All were nice and offered different amenities. I would still choose Coon Creek because of the shade and distance between campsites. Restroom and shower facilities are good. Gate attendant was very helpful in moving me from a poor site (16) to a shaded secluded spot (149). Not as crowed as I thought they would be over a weekend. Little store just outside the campground was well stocked.

We had a wonderful spot in the middle of several shade trees. We were even able to hang my hammock which helps with my joint issues. It was a very lovely experience.

Other than lake recreation, there is nothing to see but 'looking for Lincoln' witch turned out to be pretty cool, especially the Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. The bathrooms were nowheres as clean as other ACoE campgrounds I have been in. One must provide their own soap and hand drying gear and I never figured out how to wash my hands after using the toilot (the ones without showers) while using one hand to hold the wall button for water.
