Overall a great night of camping. Bathroom was nearby. Pretty easy to find with signage. Thankfully it was relatively quiet but we could hear other people talking most of the time.
Only drawback is that most of sites were quite close to each other and not much blockage from trees.

Would not get this site again, as we like to be on the water due to kayaking.. This site is at the entrance. And not near the water.

Site 18 is a short walk to the 5-mile Badin Lake trail and entry to the lake on your kayak or tube. The fire pit is very large and has a grate one could use to grill on. There is a separate grill one could use with charcoal briquettes. The tent space is very large, ample parking for multiple cars. The cardinals love the site - I had many visiting throughout my stay. I bought wood down the road at a gas station. Overall, an excellent place to camp!
