What an unexpected place of magical charm. We booked this spot for our cross country road trip to New Mexico and Arizona, frankly because of its location in the overall scheme of our trip. But WOW, this place is a hidden gem, so beautiful, peaceful, and truly magical. It was like having our own private lake. We would definitely return.

We stayed in D loop and the campsite itself is beautiful, lots of trees, everything is clean and well keep, nice facilities, good boat dock, etc. We did have an interesting experience with the Park Ranger though that, sadly, spoiled our camping:
1. Upon arriving at the campsite we were informed that we were not allowed to have our golf cart there because it was dangerous but we saw other motorized scooters, mopeds, and bicycles-how is a golf cart any more dangerous?
2. After 5 days of camping my husband received a phone call at work informing him that we were not allowed to use the campsite as a storage facility...Seriously?! Were were at the campsite every single day! We went to work, came out to fish and camp. On the weekend we were there the whole time. Who in their right mind would pay $20 a day to store their camper. AND if we paid for the site, who cares if we were there or not?
3. Two days later the Park Ranger came to our campsite and informed us that the boat could be on the grass next to the camper but we could not leave the truck hooked up to the boat because the truck had to have 2 wheels on the gravel. The camper next to us came over after that encounter and he was shocked that that was even a rule.
I have to say we felt harassed by the Ranger and we will no longer stay on the federal side. We will still camp and fish at Kanopolis, but we will stay on the state side where we are allowed to relax and just have fun.
