Lovely and quiet Army Core of Engineers campground. Many sites face the water. Most have mature trees to keep things cool. Picnic tables, fire grills and fire pits on every site. We were on site 18, and I think it may be the best one. The beach is clean and good for walking. Only issue is the ants. Tiny little ants that crawl up you Jack legs, water hose and anything else that gives them access from the ground. They were dealt with buy spraying all access points outside with ant killer. Come prepared, or buy some in Hernando.

As stated before, this place could be really nice if the following would be fixed: 1) gate attendant (a gate period); 2) hosts or at least more than just occupying a site; 3) reopen the beach and common area (the playground, grills and picnic tables are just rusting away..wasting tax payer money).
Besides these, our site did not have a fire ring as others in the area were missing too. Also we had some excitement, a high speed chase thru the campground. A Sherriff's deputy chased a guy in a truck going about 35 - 40 miles per hour (thank God no children were playing on the roads)...maybe a gate would have stopped this or at least made it safer for the campers.

Second visit, even better than the first. Had beautiful lakeside pull thru site featuring a gorgeous sunset the first night. Only potential downside, the site had no shade, which might be uncomfortable in mid summer heat. It was perfect in the fall.

Park was better this time, grass was finally mowed for a change and not as many permanent people "camping/living" in the campground.

The camp table & grill were located on opposite side of camper & grill broke off from ground with dangerous edges exposed. The campsite fire pit was located behind camper & was also not attached to ground. In the dark my son was walking back to our camper. He ran into rim & it popped up & cut his leg badly. He had to go to emergency room & had staples to close wound. They also removed shrapnel. This campsite needs immediate repairs!
