The lake is currently very low, so that is a big drawback. But the hosts were helpful. The entire campground was not very full, plus, we were in a group site off to the side, so it seemed like we had the whole place to ourselves. The quiet was nice. Temps were in the high 80s (expected in mid August), but the nights did cool off to the mid 50s. It was a great place to have a family reunion.

The camp host was amazing, the campground was spotless and the rv full hookups made our trip more enjoyable. Def a new spot for us to keep coming to in the future. Fingers crossed the lake will return to it till state soon.

The campground was very nice, well maintained, and the camp hosts were very helpful. The sites were good, and shade was fair. Electric and water hook-ups worked fine. Garbage/recycle pickup was a very good feature. The reason I am only rating the overall experience as good was due to Phillips Lake. Some of the benefits of going to this campground, as described by Recreation.gov, was concession stands at boat ramps, and other activities. We went there at the beginning of August. Water level was at 15%, and lake access was very poor. I promised grandkids the ability to go fishing. Impossible given the fast drop rate of the lake - pure mud. I'm guessing that everything shuts down at this campground after the July 4th weekend. After that, good luck!

Such a nice campsite. We stop here on our way to Idaho. But would like to stay longer. Large private campsites. Clean flush toilets. Very nice.
