The nicest RV park around the Lake. It would be nice to improve Ray Behrens and Indian Creek the way you did Frank Russell.

We found the facilities well kept up and maintained. We enjoyed the space we had and didn't find it tight or to close to anyone else. Some sites are more level than others, but those sites with the new pads made it easier to level by lowering the front of the trailer

I love the park. The sites are well spaced and situated to give maximum privacy. The new concrete is great. It could be closer to level. But still awesome compared to some gravel sites. Overall 10 out of ten.

The Park and site were excellent. We had an issue at first with the 30 amp breaker, but using a dog bone we were able to use the 50 amp until they fixed it the very next day. We will definitely be coming back to this and other Army Corp of Engineer parks.

Beautiful park well maintained. If I had a complaint about anything it would be the lack of a attendant.
