nice park, but the upper section has a lot of road noise. Hosts are super great.

Full hook ups are great, but road noise not so much. The park is always clean and the walking trails are second to none.

Really nice campground. The host did not provide a map, General location for dumpsters or where my campsite could be found and was also somewhat rude. This was a short encounter. Sandy beach was nice but extremely rude people- smoking right in front of our 1.5 year old and lighting cigarettes with the one currently in their mouth then simply letting the old lit cigarette float away in the lake right next to them. Gross and horrible to litter like that. Wish something could be done of people like that!

Great place to stay. The staff very friendly and helpful. We had a bit of a water leak at the faucet when we arrived and they had it taken care of quickly. The terrain is very hilly but the sites are terraced and not much leveling is necessary. Wonderful paved walking paths that take you all over the park. Will certainly be marking this one as a return when we come this way again.

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. |
