Site 30, Turkey Point. Very close to the lake with a stone path to get there. Shaded.

The proximity to the lake was a highlight and the open space for dog walks and hikes was also a bonus but the shower facility was top notch…I could have lounged in the shower for ever! Hot water, very clean and real shower doors which gives plenty of privacy - loved it!

I have a 4x4 overland truck. The tent spots are on the lake shore, table and bbq pit facing fall sunrise. Very low light pollution except from Osage City. There is a very active trail track. You’ll hear the train horns at night. But the lake view and shore waves were a great sleep aid. Restroom and shower were clean and working, lots of hot water.

I am glad the Corps makes regular passes through the campsites.
