Site was not level which I didn't notice the warning when chosing the site. Also didn't know that the road construction would make it such a problem to get to. Beautiful view, clean, well maintained. The cleanest, nicest pit toilets I have ever seen.

Not even close to level. Not the 1st COE campground I've been to that has this same problem.
Come on COE, my kindergarter could do better than this.
You only have to make level 1 time.
Otherwise evey occupant has to do it each time.
And we let them build dams?

This Corp of Engineers campground is in a beautiful location. Our site was clean with views of the lake. There were only a hnadful of other campers in the campground so it felt uncrowded and quiet. The sites are reservable. We had electric,water, picnic table and fire ring on site. Vault toilets were clean and stink free. No showers. Playground present. This campground is a great value and even more so when we used our Senior Lifetime National Park Pass for a discount.

Great long spots, nice views, super nice staff. We had to take site 6 instead of what we originally booked (site 22). Do not book 22, assuming it is great because ids 80β long. You have to nearly back up u-turn into it, the road isnβt wide, and itβs a deep ditch on the side where youβd use (drive in grass) to accommodate backing if you are big. A disaster waiting to happen.

We enjoyed our stay there. For whatever reason, we had no cel service. As long as itβs reasonably cool our spot as good. It will be several years before the trees are grown enough to provide decent shade.

Beautiful campground. We were parked right beside the lake! Only noise at night were the coyotes... had some trouble finding the campground. It is a Corp of Engineers campground and once we found their office and got a map we were quickly there.
