Well maintained. Really nice laundry. Go hosts.
Make sure you have everything you need because campground is remote.
Nearest diesel fuel is 30 mins away.

Campground was clean, nice, and employees were awesome. Bathhouse was clean as well.
But, my issue was NO one was enforcing quiet hours etc. Kids running around making noise past mid night practically every night, I was across from the volley ball court and had to run some kids off Sunday night at 12:30 am for playing ball, I have a pop-up camper and can hear everything. Also people riding around on golf carts late at night too. Heck they let some of the kids drive them without supervision. 🤦🏼♂️
So I'm not even sure if we'll be able to camp here again. Not trying to sound bad.

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.
