While the site is relatively small as compared to some others at this campground, it is a perfect location on the water, near the swim beach and pit toilets.
It is nicely shaded without too much obstruction of view.
Electric and water are on site

Campground is clean. We were above the dock and was able to see all the boats coming in and out. We will definitely be back.

Everything was great except the shower rooms which were not as clean as it should be. The one I used several times was smelly every time I was there.

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

  • Contact the Park Attendant at 270-257-8839 or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers office if needed.
  • You must reserve a campsite before setting up; no advance markings are provided.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.

Vehicles & parking

  • Off-road vehicles are not allowed in the campground.
  • Golf carts are not allowed in the campground.

Fees & deposits

  • There is a $5 fee for using the boat ramp each day.

Fires & fuel
