Very clean facility, pretty quiet but some road noise. Bathrooms were excellent but push button showers shut off in 3 seconds… inconvenient but still usable. Many sites are pretty unleveled. Nice park and swingset. Sand beach nearby and natural play scape park along with many trails. Tons of lake and river fishing areas nearby.

Stayed at site #46 with nice view of the lake and sunsets. Site were level, restrooms were very clean, campgrounds quiet. We climbed the Cordova observation tower, rode bikes on the trails (one section closed for construction 4/26), and visited Pella to see the tulips. Would stay there again.

This place is always immaculate. The hosts are very friendly, and the volunteers do an amazing, phenomenal job to keep the facilities clean. TOP NOTCH! Been coming here for 10+ years, never have had a security issue. I Highly recommend this campground.

We go for the Knoxville Nationals every year. We like the shade and the location. Not enough restrooms when the campground is full, could use some porta pots at this time.

It was a super clean facility with excellent bathroom/shower rooms. Not all lots are level but they're not terrible. The campground attendants were pleasant, helpful and friendly. We had a great stay.

I absolutely loved this location. I had a level site on the water and it was so peaceful and quiet. I have a good T-mobile signal.
