We camped in mid-September when park was less than 25% full. HUGE sites, most were double-wide so you could fit boat or extra vehicle easily. Electric only at site, so you need to stop at dump station to fill with water. (A few spigots located throughout park too.) Campground is a couple of miles from highway entrance but such a beautiful drive. Acres of open space throughout.

Beautiful campground, my only advice (we came in late Fri. it was dark) the signage for the site #'s isn't very easy to read. Love that you collect cans for fireworks!

we reserved B04 site but found the restroom beside us was under construction, so we talked to the camp counselor and to the army reserve abut changing sites to h07, and the only thing we could do was cancel b04 and reserve h07, but we lost out $20 for b04 because I was unable to request a refund!!!!!! Why can't a camper who has gone through the trouble to chase down the camp counselor and then go to the army reserve station change sites without losing their $$$$$!!!!!! Or trying to spend hours on the phone trying to get ahold of someone in order to get a refund on an 800 number........ When it isn't the campers fault that you can't keep the website updated or let the campers know who have reservations near some area you all decided to put under construction! Seriously this isn't the campers fault!

Nice campground. Camping spots are big and have plenty of space between them. I would prefer the restroom be cleaned more often.

The rules state we must show our discount cards when checking in and we never have to provide that info at this park like we do the other. Rules should be rules and the same at all your parks.Several volunteer campsites filled but never volunteers out cleaning especially after a storm and limbs everywhere our group cleaned our own sites and the yard in between.
