Enjoyed the Campground. Grass was tall at first, but after 6 days they mowed.

Grass was not mowed and in some places it was over a foot tall. Ran over 2 copperheads near campsite. Would be easier to watch for snakes if grass was better maintained. Volunteers were really nice.

Ruark Bluff East is one of our favorite places to camp. It is on the water, so we went swimming and fishing a lot. It is a beautiful park. The new campsites were a great addition. Our only complaint, was the showers were not as clean as they have been in the past and the grass was a little too high. Other than that it was great. We have already booked our next trip.

Everything there was excellent but it was needing a mowing something fierce. One guest brought a mower and mowed his campsite himself. If that wasn’t bad enough, on Monday morning they came to mow and were mowing around my campsite while I was packing up and all the empty sites still needing mowed.

Speed bumps need to be installed in the roads by water!! A child is going to get run over! Seen several people speeding through there right as children were crossing to go to water

We like the new sites on B loop very much. One thing needed for that loop is a sidewalk from it to the shower house, as anyone in a wheel chair or a scooter, have to go around on the road to the intersection where the shower house is. It is a lot of extra work for someone who is handicapped. They could easily put in a sidewalk from the new B loop to the mens and to the womens bathroom. The shower house could use some work, as the walls are full of mold, and it is so hot in there in the summer it almost does no good to take a shower.

Beautiful lake, nice vault toilets with potable water for drinking and washing. Hot showers. Lots of big game fish jumping. Plenty of
firewood in the surrounding woods. Campfround sites are very nice, nit on top of other campers unless you get into the A-33 peninsula. Nearby marina is excellent. Sand beach nice to visit .
