This was probably the best experience that I have heard camping in the last year. I registered online went to the campsite enjoy the campsite and left. There was a little bit too much garbage in the words surrounding the campsite including soiled underwear.

Restrooms were flooded and needed tending. Our water hookup seems to leak underground some how soaking the tent area. Otherwise, it was just good. Level parking is always nice.

Small campground. No real views of the lake outside of a handful of spots. Relatively quiet

This COE is the worst campground I’ve ever stayed at and we stayed at lot of them. Site 7 was narrow and sloped down. Dangerous coming down the steps had to be careful not to twist or break my ankle. The electrical box was full of dirt daubers and hit several times. Never saw a host and the office hasn’t been used in years . We had to clean our own site of trash.

We rented spots #9 and #10 at Dub Patton Arkabutla and camped in tents. The views are AMAZING and even had water access a few steps away down the hill. The area was very clean. The bath house was clean. We will definitely camp here again! I recommend renting both spots together because they are basically on top of each other, and the view is totally worth it!!!!!

Over all good. People parking blocking turnaround visiting tent campers. Made it difficult to get trailer turned to get to our site. Water hookup leaking at site 14 making muddy area at our site 15.
It was quite after dark. No one at check in booth. Would stay here again just will not be my first choice.
