One of my favorite campgrounds. Large shaded lots, view of lake, peaceful, and great place to relax. Clean showers/restrooms and a laundry room if needed. Friendly park attendants go out of there way to help you find amenities and answer any questions you have. Definitely recommend giving this park a try.

The hosts here were very nice. We were trying to make our way home to Florida when hurricane Ian was on the way. They were very concerned for our home which was very sweet of them.

There's Almost no camp site (2) with shade for a tent and what their is, is very hard spot to get.
There's no place to go swimming! We have walk on very sharp rocks in the water over 150 feet to even get to water waist high. Plus, the beach area has permanently been shuttered as have several camp sites in this facility.
I asked the custodian why there is No Walking Trail from that back turn of B track to the trash & showers area. He told me because you & the Park Rangers have not do so, as he is forbidden to cut a leaf from a tree.
It gets much worse from here.

Love Sparrowsfoot!!! The park is so well kept. Asa female it is so nice to go into a bathroom that is almost as clean as mine is at home even though it is shared with many others. The park also is well kept. We love the couple that run it as they are so friendly and look forward to seeing us on our trips.
