Lake was dry and very rough campers looked like they have been there for a while.

Dub needs a lot of TLC. The public day-use area was neat and clean though. For camping, see if you can secure a site at South Abutment instead. Water came out brown after a rain and we lost power. The sites are strangely placed with our fire pit at the bottom of a small hill right behind our neighbor’s camper.
Many use this area as an affordable homesite. Several empty campers were on site with no vehicles - a bit creepy. Also, the lake has been drained to allow for work on the dam, so do your research before planning any lakeside activity.

The location was very nice, but a site that was advertised as available for tent camping didn’t have much of a spot to set up. We figured it out and enjoyed our night there, though!

Beautiful campground - didn't realize there was no water in the lake!!
Sites were nice. Bathrooms were so so - all toilets leaking - the floor was really wet.
We were there for just one night so no big deal.

Slope of the pad was near impossible to level our class a motorhome and there was next to zero verizone cell coverage...had to drive about 5 mi to be able to get a message out.

This campground is under restoration and that made getting here challenging.
The detour brings you in from a different direction, which made it impossible to tell in the dark which campground was which. We ended up in the other loop because the Dub sign is angled away from current traffic patterns.
This campground was still great except for more mosquitos than I’ve ever seen in my life.
The sewer needs to be seated in the ground so it’s not uphill from release on the Rv/trailer
Also this is a REALLY tight loop so even if your Rv or trailer fits the allowed length for the site, the numbering is illogical and the turnabouts are way too tight for even a 28’ trailer.

Sanitary pump lift station at our site wasn’t working properly.
Also seems like people are living at the campground for more permanent residence

My husband and I came here to camp. We had a wonderful spot! We were able to have fantastic views and seemed secluded. We had electricity and sewer hookups too. It was a great spot to camp to go to Memphis for the day. There are great playgrounds and hiking trails in the area too. The bathhouse seemed older but the water pressure was good and there was hot water. You need to take your own soap to the bathroom to wash your hands.
