We were some of the first campers after the storm recovery. The campsite was still messy with downed branches and twigs but it was an easy clean-up. The waterfront was enjoyed by everyone. The first 3 days of our stay was very enjoyable but the last night was ruined by a group of after midnight arrivers who were disrespectful of their neighbors......very noisy and boisterous. I'm not sure they slept at all because they were loud again before 6 AM. I guess I don't know how the campground's quiet hours are supposed to be enforced but it sure would have been nice if the ccampground host or park ranger would have carried that out.
The restroom facilities were kept up as best as possible considering some liquid handsoap vandalism all over the floor and a man leaving fish scales and slime in the sink basin which completely plugged the drain. All in the day of a typical public area, I guess!
We would definitely recommend this campground.....but have learned it is not ideal to do tent camping on a 4th of July weekend if your goal is peace and quiet!

We usually have our family reunion/fishing tournament that weekend. With the mess up, everyone having to cancel their reservations. Then when the park open again many of our family did not get their reservation back and couldn't get a lot.

We stayed in site #13 - it does have some shade and is close to the lake. It is different than many COE parks in that the sites are pretty close together. The sites are gravel and many are not very level. There is a nice boat launch, swim beach, and pavilion. The bathrooms were very clean.

We stayed on lot #12. It was a good spot but, the mosquitoes were very bad and swarmed the area.

So many mosquitos we couldn't do anything outside. Setting up our pop up camper resulted in at least 7 bites each. Close to flush style bathrooms with showers though.

We picked a spot to tent w electricity and once arrived realized that it was not a good site for tents. Was easily moved to a more accommodating site and was even refunded for the difference between cost in sites.
Thanks. My girls had fun!

Be prepared to encounter the campground host who believes it is his personal empire.

Camp host was nice and helpful. Campsites were very small and too close together. Luckily we had nice neighbors. The bathroom and showers were really nice and clean. Park and swim area were close by although the water was gross and had lots of seaweed in late August.
