Beautiful CG on the lake. We love ACOE parks and stay at them whenever we can. The roads through the camp were pretty sloping, but once parked, the site was pretty level. To exit, you have to drive down by the lake-pretty steep-and back up again. Lots of mature trees. The bath house was nice--combo shower/toilet rooms. Stainless fixtures are easy to keep clean. I did not use the shower but my husband said the water was nice and hot, and there was a heater in the room. Looks like they are working on connecting walking/biking paths between the different areas, and one part was under water due to recent rain. Poplar Bluff was an easy drive to stores, and there was a nice convenience store/gas station within walking distance, and a food truck. Nice area to hang out for a couple of days.

Rented site #47 six days for spring fishing and had a good time, the park was well kept as usual. Only problem I could see for a camper with a 34 plus foot camper on this site is the culvert at the curb, might drag backing in. Mine is 23 and did ok

We had reserved a site that was flooded when we got there. The attendant and rangers worked very hard to get us into another site so we were still able to enjoy our trip. We were very happy with the site and had a really good time.

This place is always nice, clean, quiet and peaceful. I needed a weekend away and this was perfect. Far enough from a lot of business but close enough to a grocery store, dollar general and a restaurant if you need something last minute or just don’t feel like cooking. All the visitors are nice, we have never had a problem with anything.
