Disappointed. Have stayed here many time but this visit the bathrooms/ showers at Buffalo were very dirty, no toilet paper, paper towels or soap. One bathroom at boat dock closed other one dirty.
When leaving found the dump station very full and unable to dump. Tried the upper station and it was locked.
For it being a long holiday weekend expected things to be in better condition.

Wonderful park! Very well maintained and host was exceptional.
We had a beautiful site with a grand view! It was very convenient to those areas we were visiting!

This is such a nice campground! The tent pads are made with pea gravel, which has to be the very best substance to set up a tent on! We slept great on this!
The only trouble we had were people partying with loud music and women cackling after quiet hours. There didn’t appear to be any campground hosts anywhere, nor any rangers driving through. We were invited to join one of the groups playing loud music, but we really just wanted to get to bed since we needed to be up early for a long driving day. Thankfully, all of the different groups settled down a bit so we were able to get to sleep by midnight.

The new RV camping section with electricity / water is beautifully done. Campsites are set well apart from each other to give proper space between sites. Good asphalt roads and asphalt RV pads. Beautiful roofs covering tables. Odd mini streetlights at each site that do not work. Sites perched on gentle hill with very good overview of the lake. I wish all lake campsites in the state looked this beautiful. The old west side camp spots are just that, old style and bit of an eye sore and not well layed out. The east side of the lake - Tetilla Peak, the road is horrible!! Full of big potholes. Not RV friendly and recommend only driving in a truck with good suspension. Campsites were closed. Park Ranger said they had plans to open soon. From what I could see looked similar to westside old campsites.
