I enjoyed the mountain bike trails and walking around the dam areas. Very peaceful and beautiful even though we had less than great weather. My only complaint would be the bathhouse...it could use a renovation. Camp hosts were super friendly and helpful. We enjoyed meeting them!

Campground could be 5-stars by just repositioning water & electric on all sites, and replacing toilet/shower building, Nice campground, but in the Fall it turns into a hunting camp. One each (m&f) bathroom & shower were unheated, very dirty, and always low on toilet paper. Overheard ACOE employees voicing concern that people were stealing toilet paper, but when you only put in two rolls for 30+ people, the paper will be gone quickly. Sites were well spaced and level, but some had the power and water on the wrong side. Site 5 water does not work, and apparently has not for quite some time. Nice 18-hole disc golf course right at campground. Lots of potential, but needs serious renovation.

The quietness of the park is perfect. We went with 6 other campers for 2 weeks. There is nothing close to it except one local store ( with very good food) and one dollar store.

Ranger was very rude both times he came through
Need a new ranger that knows how to talk to people and about the senior discount
Told us we still owed money and said I had to pay the email permit

Nice shower room (repaint 😉) and toilet paper was kept stocked!! Loved our campsite. The WL&F agent, Ken, was very helpful when calling about the park.
