Very nice site. Lots of shade. Room for 1 boat trailer & 1 car plus 3 parking spots close by upon availability. Great for camper & 1 car. Tent was on slight hill but manageable. Lots of room for kids to play. Can see the lake from this site as well. Would recomend!!!

We stayed on Site #44, which was fairly level, slightly lower on the drivers side. Decent amount of shade

Had a great time at the park and on the lake. Bathrooms were clean and the attendants were very helpful. Our original sites were canceled due to high water. But I was notified the week before and was able to get new sites. Hope to make it back again.

Sites 39 to 57 has a different entrance than the “main camp”. We had site 53 which was great but its tricky to back into. It also has a steep decline backing into 53 and I recommend that you remove your WDH to avoid excessive stress on your hitch. Its a scenic area, nice path to walk to the main camp and to the dam wall. I gave it a 4 star because the entrance to sites 39 to 57 is not marked (name or sign board) at all. Host was very helpful and took us to campsite 53.

From the moment we pulled in with the friendly check in with Sylest and Larry. Clean restrooms and showers. We were able to stay another night and moved down on the water. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend

The beach was not available like it was supposed to be disappointing my daughter. There was not an alert online letting me know.

We were in site 48 at the small end of the park, beautiful site lots of privacy and peace. Neighbors were friendly. Lots of mosquitos and they collected in the bathroom because it was the only cool spot. Only 1 of 4 bathrooms was open to use and it was coated in bugs, an easy fix if someone knows about it. No water access from this part of the park, there’s a walking trail but you can’t access the water unless you walk to the beach part of the park, better to drive down the main road to get there.

Existing day use shelter reservations may be cancelled by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers if the facility is closed due to flooding, elevated security threats, maintenance problems, etc. Reservations may also be cancelled when the reservation conflicts with large public special events that would negatively impact a private event at the shelter. For these reasons, customers should consider an alternate date or location in the event a closure is necessary. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. |
