Only complaint was the bathrooms. Though a schedule was posted on the wall indicating that the restrooms were cleaned Mon, Wed, Fri and Saturday they were not. I realize it was the end of the season, but I still had to pay to camp and had to abide by the rules. Why then weren't the cleaners monitored to make sure they were providing the service they were being paid for by USACE. Unfortunately the host was there so seldom I was never able to ask why the facilities weren't being maintained.
LOVE your parks!

The campground is ok,but nothing special. We liked that there were only a few other campers, so we had lots of privacy. Many sites are close together, so if the campground were busy there would be little privacy.

The location was nice, a little sunny on a hot day. The sound of the roaring water coming from the dam was relaxing. The one problem we had was that the 30 amp breaker kept getting thrown when the microwave and the AC were running together - someone needs to check the breaker.
