This site is dangerous. It is a drop off within 4-5 feet of R.V. Other than that it is a good location and next to the cove. We will be back but not to this site, until it is repaired.

We always have a great time during our Family & Friends Reunion. However, it could be improved if the areas were mowed more frequently. It may sound like nick-picking, but most people are wearing flip-flops, going barefoot, or have small children attempting to navigate throughout the sites.

The COE facility we stayed at was GREAT. Had a fantastic view of the lake. Area was clean, wooded, and enjoyable. Though it was certainly crowded, all camper were kind, courteous, and pleasant to be around. Public bathroom/showers with outstanding. Water hookups are "shared" in that you needed a "Y" connection to connect with water. On arrival a fellow camper volunteered a "Y" if i did not have one, which I didn't. So very much appreciated. (I now have 2 just in case). I would have given the location 5+ stars if not for 2 things. The site had a considerable step off form the RV pad to the ground. Perhaps it was just due to erosion, since the area had been flooded from VERY HIGH water. I hope the COE will fix this, since leaving it is a trip/fall hazard with may come with some liability. The second item was dump station. The site did not have sewer connection, thus had to use the ONLY DUMP station available, on the road leading out. The station had been abused by other campers, was not well maintained, and some RV owners ahead of us were very inconsiderate, taking significantly longer amount of time than necessary (training a 5yr how to do!) The dump station also did not have much pull off space, resulting in several tow vehicles and trailers lined up on the roadway. Another hazard. But all in all, I will definitely return for another camping trip! ABSOLUTELY!
