With all the trimming of trees they have been doing there has been great fire wood at the campsites this year so far.

Sites are gravel and about 1/2 of the sites are very unlevel. Site # 9 is really bad from erosion. Camp host very friendly and restrooms clean.

Great small campground. Well maintained, clean showers and bathrooms, right by Keystone Lake. Quiet location, cannot hear nearby expressway. I will come back, worth the 700 miles drive.

Great little campground that’s very clean and quite. Just be aware that many campsites are very unlevel. Very surprising for a Corps campground.

I was crushed to see all the lower sites were gone. However the wonderful caretakers that will be running the gate this year explained the plans to make it nice and safe when flooding takes place as it occasionally can. I was there with a face book group called Camp Oklahoma. I was excited they choose this site, it has always been my favorite. I never feel less than with my goofy truck camper mounted on a trailer. I quickly noticed that the bathrooms weren't clean as they usually are, so I ran to Walmart and bought soap and some clorox clean up. This is the first time our group has come this far east and to a site so small. I wanted them to be as impressed as I always have been. The soon to be new host were wonderful, cheerful and came by often and answer everyone's questions graciously. Great job. See you again soon.
