Very good camp ground. Toilets and bathing facilities were very clean. Beautiful location. A little noisy, mostly due to nearby highways.

Nice camp and easy to get to from Interstate 57. We spent 2 nights as a trip layover and to scout the other COE camp on Rend Lake.

God location.
Our campsite was very dirty. I put rubber gloves on and walked around picking up candy wrappers, beer caps, cigarette butts.
Fire pit not cleaned out
