It is convenient to get a site online. Sometimes the site isn't always level enough for our setup but staff are always helpful finding something that will work for us.

While not on the water, this site offers some views of the lake when the campground is not full. The parking pad is very level and easy to access. Depending upon the length of your camper, and where the doors are located, your door could come out on an area that the site gravel is not level with the pad. The USACE had placed some additional gravel along the edge of the parking pad, so we did not have any of the issues noted in other reviews. While the fire ring and picnic table are not near the parking pad, they are not terribly inaccessible. The sites in this area of the campground offer ample space between campers. Shopping for last minute foods or smores supplies can be found at Walmart a few minutes away in the town of Benton. About 30 minutes away in the town of Marion you will find a Camping World (if you have issues with your camper) and a multitude of restaurants and stores.
