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 80’ long. You have to nearly back up u-turn into it, the road isn’t wide, and it’s a deep ditch on the side where you’d use (drive in grass) to accommodate backing if you are big. A disaster waiting to happen.

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.

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?

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.

No usable boat ramp or boarding dock!!! I camp there to go fishing. No usable boat ramp or boarding dock is a big downer. Won't be back again until you can use the boat ramp and there is a year round boarding dock.
