After I've been there two days someone came in nextdoor and asked me to watch his camper cause he had two midgets hiding under his camper and would not come out. Don't know what kind of drugs he was on but it it must have been some bad stuff.
I planning on going back and hope nothing like this happens again.

Great place . Even though a lot of the trees are gone from the tornado a few years ago, it’s still a Beautiful Campground. Two of the three bathhouses have air conditioning, & they are clean.

The Men's shower would not drain properly and was not very clean. It was almost too hot to shower as the AC was not in working order. Other than that the camping is fantastic and the new look and sewer drops make this a great place to camp! Kudos to the COE team for a great place.

I always enjoy this location. The grass was in need of a mowing, knee high.

Great campsite, full hookups but in 2 weeks didn't see 1 park ranger and with no hosts and to gate lots of traffic of non campers. Little signage so many campers driving around trying to find their site and speed limit was 5MPH which was a joke driviing way to fast thru park. And the biggest problem beach was closed and it has been for sometime but nothing on web site to indicate that until you turn onto park rd and see sign beach closed.
