Do some of trees need trimmed? Yes there are a lot of tree leaves...The site I was in was the best I have ever stayed in and that is 12 to 15 weeks a year with 3 nights each. There are some sites that may be hard to get in but over all this is a very good campground.

This could be a great campground but it needs a lot of help. Our picnic table was surrounded by dried mud and debris from runoff. Shovelingof the pad and diverting the water would be very nice. The bathroom and showers on the A loop were closed and the B loop were small and not the best. Adding at least water to each site would be a great improvement and not sure why the close and lock gate from 10 pm to 6 am seems unnecessary. We had to cut short our attendance at a class reunion to make it back by 10 and fisherman can get out early in the morning to get boats in water before 6 am. Overall care seems lacking and contacting someone at the park meant leaving a message for a return call. The lake is really nice. The trails and Frisbee golf need mowing and cleaned up.

It was a beautiful park and well kept campgrounds. The water is accessible in various places along the bluffs along the edge of the campground. I recommend this place and plan to be back.

I made a mistake and we parked at the wrong site, the ranger was very rude. The other people moved to a different spot, we offered to pay their fee if we could stay at the camp site and not have to move. But he made us move in the dark. There was no one at the check in at 7:30 when we arrived , that probably could have been avoided.

Campsite was good. Water spigot was nearly 100’ out, signs for sites could be bigger, not crowded at all Aug 31-Sept 2.

There are plenty of places to fill fresh water tanks, however other campers hook their hoses to them instead of following the rules and the rules don’t appear to be enforced. Also, the site we booked was mis- represented on the website-it was not pull thru or long enough.
