This was our first time at this campground. We loved the concrete pads and the people at the front office were very nice. We actually changed a reservation at another park to camp here again.

The all concrete pads were amazing, as was double driveway. The only down side was the condition of the bath house. It meds a little TLC.

Stop sign by entrance sticks out too far. I thought I was over far enough, but wasn't and scratched my trailer. Sites are not marked well enough to see the number very clearly. Fresh lime every where, but it had not been hosed down so it was a dusty mess and got all over everything. The lime was up toy horse's ankles in the stall. My rig is long and barely fit. I couldn't get parked and had a friend offer to park it for me. Next time I will try the private campground up the road.

Little low on water pressure due to the amount of campers hooked up. Other than that a great clean campground

This is a great campground. Full hook-ups, concrete pads, and lots of activities at the campground and nearby. Check out the visitor center across the dam. It is interesting.

Stayed at Frank Russell--spots were excellent and upgraded--main road to campspots needs resurfaced--had continual 'bumps' where utilities had been ran across the road

Frank Russell is always very clean and quiet! We love camping here. The kids love camping here because of the fishing lake and the archery range. Such a cool campground! Plus all the new amenities and concrete pads are a huge bonus! The trail to the lake is beautiful too! It lands you in the perfect area to just sit and enjoy the peace of the water!
