It was a great trip. The couple that works at the gate Karen and Daryl was always very nice and helpful. It would have been great if grass was mowed but understand after being closed. Thank yall for opening the parks up so we can camp. We spend a lot of time at Gentry creek our favorite camping area.

This was the perfect place for me to spend the night while on the road. The campground has a variety of sites, from in the trees to a hill top overlooking the lake. The bath house in the main loop consists of a single toilet/shower stall behind the same door (one for women and another for men). That isn't a complaint... just make note that if the campground is busy, you might have to wait to use the toilet if someone is taking a shower. And only one shower at a time. There is also another vault toilet up on the hill. It is reasonably clean.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is necessary to make reservations at recreation.gov. There is no option to drive up and get a site without going through recreation.gov. And my phone signal was dicey (AT&T), so it was difficult to do so once I got there. I had never encountered a campground with sites available where I couldn't rent the site once I got there. However, the hosts were fabulous about helping me out, and at least recreation.gov did not charge the usual reservation fee!

The camp hosts were very helpful and directed us to our spot in person. Our site was on top of a hill and had amazing views of the water and easy access to the shore.
