Sehr schöner Campingplatz, direkt am Wasser war ich mit einem C25 von Cruise America. Strom, Wasser und Dumping am Platz möglich. Toiletten und Duschen waren nicht so gut.

Great for easy bike riding and full hook up sites. We had a great view of the water. The swim area and nice playground are still closed so that was kind of sad. There’s really not a great place for children to play if you’re looking for a playground. They have a basketball goal and couple of swings that are there but that’s it.

What a great spot. Quiet, clean. We stayed at site #2 with a beautiful view of the lake. Even saw a Bald Eagle who sat in our tree for awhile. Bathrooms were surprisingly very clean and in good condition. Definitely staying here again!

My husband and I and son and his family always have a great relaxing fun time when we come here to camp.
Just wish there was more playground equipment for the children. We always have one or 2 of the grandchildren when we camp.
We especially like that you don't see camp areas with peoples refrigerators, deep freezers and other household appliances covered in tarps, leaking water faucets, and other eyesores like you do at South Abutment in Arkabutla.
