I'm sure this is a great campground, but the site we ended up with was backing up on a 15% grade. Did not happen. Some of the sites looked good, but no availability and we were planning on being there a week. Thank goodness we could get into Warrior Creek just on the other side of the lake. Staff was good helping us to request refund for the night.
