Our second time to this campground and loved it both times. One was off season, in the fall, not many people were around but still loved it. Poker run weekend on the lake and from our site, you could not have gotten a better vantage point to watch all the activity

Decent area for camping. The restroom and shower facilities are significantly lacking. Be sure to bring your own toilet paper and soap. Also bring a mower, weed eater, and blower. You’ll probably have to clean up your campsite. The people that do this don’t seem to care about this aspect of the park. Also, depending on where your campsite is, you could need up 100 ft of hose to connect to a water source. Good luck and have fun. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The grounds were not mowed and we had to go home (25 miles one way) to get our lawnmower & weed eater to mow around the 4 camp sites we and our family and friends had rented. The grass was calf high when we got there and we were there 2 weeks without any mowing done, except what we did. Other campers were driving by to ask why our grass was mowed and the rest of the park was not.

Our campsite was great although there were flossing picks scattered all over the ground. Charcoal grill was full of trash. The view has been blocked by to many boat slips built recently in the cove. I’m sure that was politics involved to allow that. The playground equipment is in bad need of repairs. Who cares about the children? I do. This was once a great campsite for families. Maybe someday it will have better management and have a safer environment. My credit card charged me for an extra night because the camp host was having computer issues. I know some of these issues can’t be solved locally, like to many boat slips allowed to be built, but maybe som of it can. Thanks to those that care.

Campsite was clean and quiet, I think it poses a huge safety risk having the gates shut at 10:00pm if there was a fire or medical emergency the delayed time in opening the gate could cost a life or loss of property.

Campground was mowed and clean. Great time at the lake in spite of the intense heat.

Location good but the power supply connection on several of the campsites need servicing badly, very old and corroded connections may cause RV issues not wanted by campers
