Considering the high lake water levels before/during our visit the campsite/campground were in remarkably good shape and all hookup amenities in working order.
My appreciation to the park staff for having the campground safe to occupy and fully operational.

Bathrooms were not open for use. If you bring your dogs, make sure they wear boots because the entire area is covered in sand burrs.
Trails were decent, not a lot of shaded areas, so bring lots of sunscreen.
The layout of the campsites is basically a circle and there is supposed to be a fishing pond in the center. The pond has long been dry and overgrown with shrubs

Camper park place so unlevel we had to use all 12 of our lifts +two 2x8’s and the grass was so tall and full of weeds, had not been mowed😢 probably the worst camping spot we’ve ever had😩 The only consolation was the weather was great and the thrift store, ETC in Hillsboro and Marion auxiliary thrift stores. We’re both really great.❣️

Grass has not been mowed for weeks. So tall. Couldn’t let dogs out. Couldn’t get to fire pit due to weeds. Not just our site, whole campground Campground is awesome, just not the unmowed weeds

The grass wasn't mowed and there were about 200 spiders in our camp area, other than that the lake is great

The campground is getting very run down. 2 of the 4 shower houses/bathrooms are locked up and one of them has been for over a year and 1 of the showers in another bath house is out of order. Grass is very high, the shelter over the picnic table was rotting out.
