It’s my opinion that this campground is the best CORE OF ENGINEER campground and a model for any new campgrounds!
It’s is clean easy in & out, staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. This park also has concrete sites with FULL HOOKUPS!
Great Job to who ever designed it.
The only 1 thing is I wish they would replace or repair the old Bridge inside the park trail.

We have stayed here a couple times and it was very nice both times. It was during the week during the quieter season so was not terribly crowded. Our site during both visits were level and the lady that checked us in was very pleasant. The bathrooms could use some work, otherwise would have given it 5 stars.

Host at entrance friendly and helpful. Washrooms clean, but floors could use a coat of paint. Although cold morning, shower rooms were warm; water took a while to heat up. Sites are paved and nicely spaced. However, many sites slope to the rear. Good layout of dump site area.
Decent quality for the price.

I was not happy with the front desk lady whom rides the scooter around. Very rude and would not help us with different issues
