Absolutely loved our experience here. plenty of areas to walk. The dog park was exceptionally clean. The shower and bath house was relatively close and clean to all the sites. Thank you so much for making it a amazing trip.

Campground is really nice, bathroom/shower house was extremely clean. The only thing I would change is people constantly driving around in golf carts. We had the same people passing our campsite six or seven times a day. Camping is a time to unplug and enjoy nature. All the golf carts makes it feel like you’re in a subdivision with constant traffic.

Our site was quite unlevel but in a beautiful spot. Lots of barking dogs in our area and many golf carts driving through often. We enjoyed seeing the northern half of the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area.
