Very well-maintained campsites. The bathrooms had nice hot showers. You can go across the road to do a nice nature walk to the dam.

The campgrounds, including shower houses, are well maintained and security is outstanding. The sites are level with lots of shade.

Great campground! Level, FULL hook-up sites; well maintained grass; clean shower house.
Nearby: 2 good restaurants, Dollar General, full (IGA) grocery story, reasonably priced firewood, 2 fun Geocaches.
All-in-all, a near perfect spot!

I really like this campground. The pads are level and have full hook-ups at each site. The shower house was clean. It was nice to see the patrolman come through regularly. The playground received a new shipment of mulch. We visited several flea markets nearby. The Speedy Cone just 1/2 mile away has tasty burgers and large servings of hand-dipped ice cream as well as soft serve ice cream. Try the fried green beans. There are several stores nearby to replenish ice and other supplies. The group did not use the hiking trail since it was hilly and quite steep in places and some members have issues with that. It looks well-maintained, though. The visitors' center is nice and we enjoyed our visit with Willie B. Nice. We located two geocache treasures.

The campground and restrooms were clean & well kept. The fireplace could use a weekly cleaning though (the ash was DEEP). The weather was great and staff friendly. The only bad thing was the band playing somewhere close to the west campground with a very loud bone rattling bass until quite late at night.
