We had a great time camping, fishing and kayaking this area. Our campsite was clean and shady with great views of the water. Even though we were next to the boat ramp, it was quiet and relaxing. The shower facilities were nice and clean. We love Council Grove, so it’s nice to just be a few minutes from town to go to dinner or get some firewood for camp fires.

The 6 stall shower house/bathroom you could only use 4 of those. One stall the door has been locked on it now for 2 summers, so apparently there’s a problem and instead of fixing it the just keep the door lock. One stall the door open but it’s dark the light doesn’t come on so you can’t use it. The other 4 need light bulbs. All the stalls had only 1 bulb each working therefore making it hard to see, when there’s several bulbs over the shower side and toilet side. I reported this issue to the Corp of Engineers when we got there, but 5 days later when we left, nothing had been done about the issues.
