Summary

AI generated

I rented the space specifically to clean up the site. I spent several hours weed eating around the site for future use. The maintenance has been virtually non existent for a couple of years. This could be a beautiful campground with more effort. We spent time there in April and I observed no visible signs of preparations for the opening day. Leaves were awful. This provides cover for baby Copperheads. I would suggest having a volunteer clean up week prior to opening on April 1.

The facilities were extremely clean. The female Host as you entered was one of the sweetest and caring persons I have ever met. You do not always find that. I locked us out of our RV. She went above and beyond her duties as a Host to help us. We will be back next year and rent a boat to see the lake from a different perspective. We enjoyed driving around Claremore and Tulsa during our visit. If I could rate our experience, I would give our visit five out of five stars ⭐️.
