Campground is nice with several paved pads. One bathhouse which is kept fairly clean. BUt the description on Recreation .Gov says there is free wifi and a swim beach. NO wifi (no cell service either) and no beach. There is one short hiking trail to the top of the dam. I think the description is for Buckhorn State Park which is several miles away down a very twisting and hilly road. Unless you are a fisherman there is nothing to do here.

This is one of the best places we have ever camped. The campground is very clean and has a very nice shower house. The laundry building is very clean and in a central location. You can fish, play volley ball, horse shoes, or play basketball. There is a nice playground for small children. The campground has ice and wood for sale which was very convenient for us. The host was very knowledgeable of the campground and area. We will definitely be back in the fall.
