Nice lake, nice campsites, however, quiet time was not enforced and the bathhouse shower is on an extremely short timer.

We rented the pavilion for my daughter’s gender reveal. The scenery was gorgeous and there were a lot of tables. The only things I would change is it needed some house keeping and a sign letting other people know that it was rented. We had strangers trying to come in and sit.

This was a beautiful campground near enough to Starkville to visit our son at Mississippi State but far enough away to have a quiet, tranquil space. Everyone there was very nice, including the park host. The only downside was that the bath house was closed for the season but that is expected since it was nearing freezing temperatures for late November. We would definitely check it out again.

Just spent 3 peaceful, relaxing days camped on the lake. Kayaked, hiked and biked around the lake everyday. Came midweek and had my choice of walk in sites, campground was very quiet and well maintained.
