Interesting to see the lake empty!
I will be happy to see it full again.

The campground host was very friendly and helpful. The campsites were clean, well shaded and fairly private. While campsite 004 is long enough to accommodate the largest campers out there, the turnaround at the end of the loop is not large enough. I would not recommend pulling a 45’ fifth wheel camper to this campground.

We camped at site 22, which was very nice, felt private. There was a slight leak around the water hookup.

This area is beautiful and the campground is very nice. We got 12 mi in hiking around the lake which was nice with the different rock formations and cliffs that are along the trail. We were very disappointed that the lake had been emptied and that there wasn't more information about that on the first page of the web site. You had to scan through many reviews to find any mention of this. The campground is mostly private with large camping areas in most. I'm guessing that it only being about 50% filled is due to the lake.

As a tent camper, I loved that this site is wooded and it didn't feel like we were right next to a bunch of RV's. There is a cute grocery store about 15 mins away in Ironton that had all the things we ran out of or forgot. The bathroom rooms were cleaned and maintained daily and if your mobile provider is Tmobile, you shouldnt have much of an issue with reception. I really loved this site and will definitely be booking it again. Also we were at site 33, site 32 which was right next to us would be great for tent camping as well.

Quiet and beautiful. My site was marked for me though without my name. Bathrooms
Really need an update. Though there was soap, the hand dryer in the men's room was inoperable.
