Had a great time, everything was great except for the dump station being down. We were thankful that we could use the one on the east campground.

There was not hot water in all of the showers. The dump station was not working not a big deal but a pain went to east to dump. Otherwise all good.

Enjoyed Ruark Bluff West. Sites are further apart than most Corp Parks. Cell phone service is spotty depending on where you’re at in the park. Beach and boat ramp are down the rode. Sunsets were beautiful

This is an absolutely beautiful campground but each year it seems no preparation or care is given before opening. The pump was broke for the second year in a row so initially no showers or bathrooms and had to go to east side, outhouse was full, and bathroom and showers were not clean when opened with temporary pump. One shower has moldy shower curtain and floors and walls are disgusting. A power washer once a week with a little bleach would do wonders. Also, no gate person. We had a small blue car flying through one afternoon at about 50 miles an hour three times. I love the west side and have been coming for years. Just needs a little maintenance before opening day and someone at gate.

The dump station, shower house and bathrooms were down the entire week. They brought in a pump on Friday that ran constantly.

This is a great place to stay. Nice and quiet and wonderful to be right there on the lake. I'm not sure there's a bad site here.

I received an email stating that the facilities were closed and so when I went to cancel my reservations I was told I would only get a $12 return because it was a $32 return fee. Very upset because you closed the facilities I could not utilize the camp spot so I still lost out on all my money.

No electricity working on site. We got everything set up to have to take it right back down. There were no bathrooms no showers didn’t receive an email untill after I booked it the next day. If this stuff was not working I feel like it should have been posted on the site or as soon as my booking was made.
