First of all, we love Stockton Lake! We camp at Crabtree at least once a year. Great pastime of watching wildlife, sailboats and fishing. Quiet place during first part of the week:) Public restrooms are clean and camp supervisors are friendly.
Bolivar is about 30 minutes away with good restaurants and shopping for what you left home!

we were there during the first part of the week and the campgrounds were almost empty. It was very peaceful. as the week went along it started to fill up.

Campsite was very clean and exceptionally quiet. The view was pleasant and if we remembered the wine we could have enjoyed it much more.

Biggest downside was showers are at the entrance which meant closing camp and driving back out or filling our tanks with shower water. We showered in.

Camp host would drive up on the sidewalk every day by the restrooms but wouldn’t do anything, trash boxes were always full and everyone was just throwing trash on floor, nasty!

1. Site 37A is a double site and that could have been clearer on the website. It was double the price of others but for a first timer, $40+ is typical for other rving locations. Other COE would have called it a family site, that would have been helpful.
2. The park ranger warned of the tornado warning by driving through the area with lights and sirens on. What was happening, and where to take shelter would have been helpful in addition to sirens and lights. We were able to figure it out by using the internet. Some campers don't have that luxury or in more urgent scenarios would we have the time.
3. It was posted not to bring firewood into the location. But none was available to buy there. So everyone with a fire was pretty much breaking your rule. Clarification on this would be good too.
4. All in all, it a was a great trip. The above issues were minor, but could have been worse. We met amazing people. The facilities were good. The wildlife and water were hard to beat. Thank you.
