Was their 3 days and no one checked us in our asked if things where ok. Had a broken picnic table, would have been nice if told or text emailed something about draining the lake to fix the dam. Before we arrived, found out from other campers that where there that it was drained months before. Just sad no communications and no contact at the park till we were leaving.

We were only there two nights. Our campsite was nice as we expected. Big disappointment was there was no lake. Pictures and descriptions still speak as if there is a lake. There is a blue link that says important information but it does not work. I guess we should have called. We still enjoyed our time there, drove into Memphis and explored. I understand that it will be 7-9 years before they can repair dam and start refilling the lake.

First of all - there is NO lake. They opened the dam over a year ago so there is no water !!!! The sites are nice and level, the showers were clean, but there is absolutely nothing to do. Many people came with jet skies and paddle boards since the website still tells you there is a lake. Very disappointed

Very Nice full hook up campground. Most sites are pretty level and all are paved. The lake is drained due to the dam needing repair. Still a nice visit. Although there would not be a lot for kids to do. Bathrooms were clean.

Even tho the lake is still down, watching the waterfowl and sunsets are worth it.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LAKE? there is no lake here. It's been drawn down for maintenance apparently??? For the next 5 years??? I HAD been planning to bring my my boat luckily I didn't; nor waste the money on fuel hauling it down here... from ILLINOIS. Where was the alert on that? We chose this campground because of the lake and no other reason. We drove 8 hours to get here. Even though we didn't bring our boat we were planning to spend the majority of our time fishing and swimming.
Oh, the rooster that crows at dawn? Seriously? What the damn hell? Who wants to get up that early on vacation? A rooster crowed at about 6:00-6:15 every morning. Not an issue really, unless it's 3 am before getting in, or if you brought 4-legged barky friends. Thankfully I've got 2 chicken chasers who did wonderful at their new job. Didn't hurt him but scared him off.
VERIZON USERS NO CELL SERVICE. Where was the alert? So many reasons why cell service is needed ie. Emergencies at home or emergencies at the campground.
The site 001 is 50/50. While it seems other sites were good to go in this aspect the fire ring is located on the working side of the site. The picnic table and built-in grill are on the complete opposite side and about 8' lower than the pad. To make maters worse the fire ring is located approximately 5' from the sewer inlet, Yuck! It doesn't smell but it's the mere point. This is not where I want to have a relaxing campfire. Also, inside the fire ring was melted building materials; as if somebody had burnt trash here.
A+ BATHROOMS; SHOWERS AND STALLS ARE AIR-CONDITIONED. Shower heads are nice plenty of hot water. Bathrooms are clean unfortunately no soap dispensers for hand washing; just a hand drier, mold and mildew growing on shower curtains which are held in place by zip-ties.
Grounds are clean and well kept and the staff answering the phone was awesome and very accommodating. Unfortunately however, we're asking for a refund and we won't be back.
