The site was clean and facilities and hookup were very nice. The site was a little tricky for us, because we have a 45 foot fifth wheel, but doable. The park was across from our site, and we enjoyed watching the parents and children. Lovely walking areas, water access at end of road. The camp hosts were very delightful and helpful. It was nice that Shelbyville was close for those last minute things we forgot, plus for that night I just didn't want to cook, great steak house and mexican food restaurants to visit.

Best campsites. I've been coming here for years and it is by far the cleanliest and most well kept sites in the area.

This is a quiet campground with the basics. Boating is a main activity here, or just relaxing by the campfire in the evenings!

the site we chose #24 has a washed out section near the road and makes it very hard to get the camper and truck in to the site. You may want to fix it before washes out farther and some one gets stuck in it

Like most COEs this is a really nice campground. We were in site 51 which is a FHU site. The site is small pea gravel, level and wide. The bathrooms are directly across but are very uninviting, and I did not use them. I would not follow your GPS. It takes you on route 5, which is a small, bad road. Take 128 instead to county rd 1650 (not 1600) and follow the signs. That road is not very good either, but it is only a 1/2 mile. We camped at Opossum Creek Campground in a Motorhome.
