Enjoy the peacefulness of Bo Woods, no trail system, but nice park to walk around. Sites are nice.
On the other hand, I am a fly by night gal - and sure hope the online reservation way of staying in the parks will stop after the Covid is over. I am retired and don't wish to "plan ahead" nor do I enjoy being frustrated with computers.

The sites are VERY clean, well kept and level! Site #6 has a beautiful view of the lake! I wish it wasn’t so steep to the lake from the campgrounds but nothing they can do about that! They have a few super nice beaches, dog park, and playgrounds! Plus laundry and shower houses! You have to fill with water slickers around the sites if your site doesn’t have water, but again not too big of a deal. Definitely recommend for families! The price is SO AFORDABLE!
