The campgrounds, bathrooms, and showers were always clean and taken care of. When we arrived at our campsite, the fire pit hadn't been cleaned out yet, and was full of ashes. We spoke with a ranger who was driving through the campground, and within a few minutes, he came by with a shovel and cleaned out the fire pit. Everyone was friendly and professional.

I love this little campground. It’s just the right size. Only thing the kept me from all the stars was out site was just a tad small. Smaller than the others. But not a horrible complaint as this has always been one of my more favorite campgrounds due to its relative small footprint and quiet ness.

Clean campground. Quiet little campground. Not all sites are paved, but the site we were in was paved and it was very level. Only downfall was the lantern post was missing and the person in the check in booth didn’t seem to care.

Nice campground. Beautiful area and you can't beat the price. Only issue we had is we scanned the code on the post at two sites and we were told they were not available. But when I searched at rec.gov they were so it all worked out.

This was our first time (tent camping) with our kids. My wife and I both grew up camping. We wanted our kids to share in that experience. We enjoyed it so much that we have stayed here twice so far this year. The kids have been asking when we are going back. The staff were very polite and super helpful. The grounds are well maintained. The bathrooms were clean. It’s right next to Shelbyville. We walked around and picked our favorite camping spots that we will choose from now on. We plan to make this our regular camping getaway! I highly recommend this place!

I didnt like thatthe park rangers called the sheriff on me to knock on my door at 1am. I never even spoke to the park ranger the night the sheriff came to my campsite. Was odd. At site 49.i have camped many places never run into this type situation.
