grounds are vey well kept. the grass is plush and well maintained. the reservoir is a great resource. showers and laundry are a nice plus, but the sinks could be better maintained; there were scads of dead bugs on them.

The woman staffing the gatehouse was great. Very helpful, very knowledgeable, able to work changes in the system as we needed them and all done with a very cheerful disposition. So, Yay!
Campground was quiet and well maintained. Sites were clean. Bathroom and shower facilities were pretty good, though some young (teenage?) boys were having entirely too much loud fun in the showers when I used them. Where were their parents?
Good job by the Corps of Engineers and their contractors for hosting such a nice campground.

Love it here. My favorite place to go. Great walking/biking. Lots of shade. Great level pads. No dirt, its all grass or pea gravel with asphalt main roads.
