We had a good time there. Great view and access to the lake.
We did have a problem with the outlets on the pedestal which was taken care of, although I had to catch park caretakers when they buzzed through on their

We have stayed at Canadian and Big Bend campgrounds both. The campground is kept up, maintained and looks amazing all the time. This is by far our favorite place. The office attendants were very kind and helpful as well :) I would recommend camping at either one!!

We had a Nice site overlooking the Lake, enjoyed the shade the covered picnic table provided while watching boats go by on the water. The park was mowed the day we arrived, was a very quiet and clean Campground. Will go back, definitely recommend.

We've enjoyed it both times we've been there. The only drawback this time was I had to weed eat around our site because the grass was overgrown.
