The park is very clean and the staff are very friendly. Sites are clean and level. Just wish the road in the middle was wider. It is hard to bank in and pull out my 36 ft camper with the little space. Had to utilize the occupied space across from ours to get my camper in. I will just learn to pick the more open spots next time. Does not deter me from camping there. Still love the campground!

The sites are spacious some with shade some without. We were not on the water, but close enough to walk to the beach each day. Bathrooms were clean, and all the people we met were friendly and kind.

We love staying here, beautiful sites on and near the lake. Most sites have mature shade trees. Hosts are nice and campground is quiet at night. Don’t miss the nearby blueberry picking at Persimmon Tree Farm and Dogwood Canyon for a nice hike or bike ride. Eat at The Hop Diner in Blue Eye or get a drink and enjoy the view at The View in Kimberling City!

Great water to swim. Quiet, shady, incredibly clean facility. Marina nearby which makes it great to bring your boat along. Our family loves it here.
