Clean camping facilities but swim area was closed because of floating timber debri.

We've stayed at Viola Camp Grounds for the past several years and we enjoy it much as this is a low key camp ground and people don't get rowdy.

Despite the rain and storms, we had a good time. Our only complaint was the fact that there was no attendant in the booth to check in and out with. The park ranger had to check us in on our last full day of the stay and he just stopped to ask a question about another camper. We prepaid for our campsite but got the impression that other campers were staying for free because no attendant was checking campsites. The vault toilet in our overflow area was unkept and not usable. We also saw foreigners sinking a small garbage sack in the lake. This was of great concern to us as United State Citizens'. We love Tablerock Lake but this was out of the norm us. We hope our tax dollars can fix this problem.

There's a good set of bathrooms/showers and a very bad pit toilet bathroom. The pit toilets were absolutely covered with black flies and I couldn't use them. Other than that the campsite was great.

I enjoyed the campsite. I loved the all cement site. We had our awning out and was in the shade all day.

Viola is a small park on the lake. Nice beach and boat ramp. Due to lots of trees that make the park shady it is hard for big rigs to get in sites.
