The bathrooms by c46 were beyond disgusting. I don't expect perfect bathrooms while camping, but I was afraid to sit down to use the restroom in there it was so filthy.

Very small campground! Most sites are short and sloped and not very well maintained

Section A at Laurel Branch is so peaceful and quiet. Plenty of shade on most campsites. Restrooms and bathhouses are clean. Close to the boat ramp. It's just perfect. I use T-Mobile for internet service and it works very well.

When we got there , the people before us emptied their black waist tank out on the ground, and we called the core of engineer and they came and verified that’s exactly what happened, they wanted to pour bleach on the ground, but we had two dogs with us, so that didn’t happen,we didn’t even get a discount 🤷♂️
