Site#61 was significantly unlevel: side 2 side was good but back of site was quite a bit lower than front requiring 5 blocks under each of the auto leveling rear jacks. An Old concrete picnic table was obviously unmovable and uncomfortable. Fire pit was old and in poor condition. Site had a nearly 6 in. drop from RV pad to surrounding ground where picnic table & fire pit are. and entire site was sloped considerably downhill toward back of the site. Verizon cell service was spotty ranging from occasionally no service to 1-2Mbps 4G download speeds generally suitable for normal phone pc use like email & web browsing with occasional windows when video streaming works if you can tolerate frequent service interruptions. Showers located on site loop were good but nearby main shower-house was tiny showers with no restroom or sink facilities and antique showers that got everything in the room wet if not kept in a waterproof bag

Campground was very clean and well maintained. Bicycle trails were a huge plus. Some campsites were close to the lake with sandy beach areas behind them which made it easy to launch a kayak.

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.
