We had a great site (6) with a terrific view of the lake. Unfortunately, the lake water level was down for repairs to the dam. We had the added experience of being right under a bald eagles nest. We came and went with no interaction with any ACoE personnel or camp host. It was an unexpected surprise to have full hookups.

Flat spot for a tent for those of us that don’t have a camper. Only downside was no fire ring but it was warm enough out to not need it. Beautiful spot right by the water and a good clearing above in the trees for Star gazing. Will come back!
