We stayed at site B20 in Big Bend B with our 33 foot Class C. The site was nearly perfectly level. Had to hardly use the levelors. On our arrival the grass really needed to be mowed, but the crew showed up the next morning and got it mowed. No stickers! The restroom facilities, while dated, were clean and adequate. This site is right on the water and has great views.

Everything overall was great. Only exception is that we had our tailgate bbq snagged by the people next to us when we left for a day trip to Alva, OK to watch a football game. We left our bbq to hold our spot while we were gone and the people next to us grabbed it. Not cool. We did get it, but they should not have taken it.

The grounds were extremely unkept and stickers everywhere which is unusual.

The camp ground was not mowed. the grass was very tall and lots of sand burs. Could not walk around on our campsite for the long grass full of sand burs. It was in the worse condition I have ever seen it. We pay to stay there it should be kept up better.

Love this campground. This specific location needs a new grill as the bottom is almost gone. we lined it with foil and was functional. Also, if you have pets there are a lot of stickers so beware.
But it was peaceful, next to the water and the sunrises were amazing.

Loved the camp site. Next to water, level parking spot.
Not a fan of the riprap it makes it hard to fish from the bank.
