Park was nice, quiet, easy to reserve a spot. Camp site spots were generously sized and many were shaded. Bathrooms were well monitored and clean. Showers took a minute or two to get hot but were fine afterward. Host were friendly. While we were there, a tornado watch and then warning was issued. Hosts hustled in the rain to continue to keep us updated and later both they and the park ranger alerted us to seek shelter. (We drove into town and parked at Walmart until the storm passed.) All went well, storm passed and there was no harm to our property. Great value for the money.

We love this campground!! It's small and quiet which is what we like. The campground hosts are so amazing! If we had any issues they would handle it immediately. They keep everything clean and nice.

Very nice campground on lake. Our space had very little shade and while we were there it was in the 90’s. I would only come back in cooler months

Friendly, helpful park attendants. The site is clean, quiet, easy access, with electricity and water if you want it. Close to the lake.

Overall, I give it a four out of five stars. It would’ve been five, but the attendants weren’t readily available for me to pay via cash. Instead, I had to sign up for this website and do this all online when I didn’t want to have to do that.

This was our second stay as it is a good stopover when traveling from Arkansas to Omaha (home). This time we chose to stay two nights so we could explore and enjoy it more. We had a great time exploring the lake front area and doing some fishing. We like the far end of Loop A. We especially appreciated the hospitality and graciousness of the camp hosts (Ron and Dee?). We also make the Osceola Cheese Factory (not far away) a favorite stop.
