Men’s bathroom inoperable, while had to use women’s bathroom that was very outdated. Only one bathroom/shower for the entire campground. Sites are poorly marked. If you think you have water access, you better bring a 150 ft hose, plus in most situations two or more sites share one faucet so if you’re not first there you get no water. Also at most sites you have to back up a hill to get to level ground. Looks like the Corps of Engineers has ignored needed improvements to this campground for over 30 years.

Was harassed by local sheriff who's outsourced by Army Corps of Engineers to provide park security. Sitting in my truck, in my reserved camp spot watching YouTube. Asking to see my id and so on and he told his Lt. the reason he came to my vehicle was because my windows were tinted and he couldn't see inside. Never knew that was his job...can he see into all the RV's too? Do not recommend this place. Never experienced that at any other campground I've camped at across the country. Seems like his a little thirsty.
