Very nice COE park, newly remodeled with concrete pads and full hook ups. Close to everything around Mark Twain Lake. The fishing pond and trails and everything is really neat. Very easy weekend out with the kids. Will be back!

We were close to a trail that takes you to the water. We could see the water from this campsite. I love the new concrete pads, and the full hook up was a good bonus.
