We loved Dub Patton!! Beautiful, quiet, serene!! It was a stop-over for us. We only planned on staying 2 nights, but stayed 4. We were on our way to the coast. Love Dub Payton!!

Beautiful location and campsite was relatively level. Only criticism was the site was extremely steep on the entry side of our rig. The last step was a doozy. Due to the steepness the picnic table was on the wrong side.

Nice showers, wonderful view on the lake and cute fireflies.
We are Tent Campers and it's not usual to have water and electricity in all sites. Really great place, we'll definitely come back

The day use areas are amazingly well kept and clean but the campground is not well maintained and sites are very close together.

The campsite's drive was too narrow and at a poor angle, I could not back my trailer into it.
Maps to find the recreation area from the highway / numbered roads were not available.
Especially with the lake drained for maintenance, this is not a place to be in the summer months.

Very peaceful. We could only stay one night, and we wished that we had more time there.

Nice place off season. Was pretty clean too. Shower house was full of ladybugs, but that's the south during season change. Nice hiking path. Great lake views. Worst part was that I was in the state of Mississippi. Much love!

Roads were closed, so it was difficult to get there. When we arrived, the place was a dump! It looked like many were living there full time. We did NOT feel safe to stay there! Couldn’t get in touch with rec.gov on phone & no internet connection, so we kept driving & stayed in a hotel. I do NOT recommend this place!!
