Excellent first and last days of our trip but the 4 days in between were not due to severe storms, high winds and over 7" of rain. Not your fault. However, it is quite impossible to predict the weather 6 months in advance of a reservation.
Excellent camp sites and facilities. Remarkably friendly and helpful camp hosts. Excellent fishing (weather permitting.)

We love staying in C loop! The sites are pretty level, most have great views of the water, there is a lot of shade, and with full hookups plus fire rings and a picnic table, you have everything you need. Our only complaint is that the grass needs mowed more often. Every time we are there, it is long and needing mowed.

There are probably couple of trees that need to be cut down because they are dead. But otherwise, we had a good time at this site.

We love the outlet! #60 was hard to maneuver. The asphalt needed to be wider. We were very close to the edge while still allowing room for other vehicles to pass by. The asphalt is high so we had to makeshift another step.

Upon arrive we tried contacting "the office" via telephone and in person without any success to discuss an oversight on our part. This oversight ended up costing us an additional day in payment which was not used. With that being said the rates are very reasonable for "out of season" usage. Another issue that needs to be address is the "Carry-in Carry-out" trash. Although we agree with the intent, we feel if a family would be staying for a week or two the amount of trash generated would be a burden on said family. We would suggest that a dumpster be place near the dump station for campers to use.
