we had a nice pull thru spot with a water spout across the street. T-Mobile cell coverage was strong. Good generator hours to help with cooking and charging the batteries.

We enjoyed the wooded campsite which was alive with chipmunks. We were able to camp next to our daughter's campsite. We had a delightful family gathering. Grandchildren enjoyed the swim at Pool Creek and digging in the sand. We also caught fish from Pool Creek. The new play equipment nearby at the KOA provided good healthy additional activities for the youngsters. Our evenings were centered around the campfire with great family stories.

We were originally in site 18, but our trailer didn't fit. It was small, uneven, very public with the parking lot there, and doors open into the hill on opposite side of campsite. Luckily the camp host helped us move to this site. It's a walk to the water, but our trailer fit.

The campground itself was good. The campsites are nicely separated from each other, water and bathrooms were convenient. We had two issues that keep me from giving a higher rating. First, at this time of year and with warm weather there was a considerable amount of algae in the water so we did not feel comfortable swimming. The second problem was inconsiderate campers surrounding us. We had generators running for several hours each day throughout the 5 days we were there, starting around 6:00 am and running well past dark. At one point our neighboring campsite left their generator running for about 7 hours straight. The generator noise combined with loud talking neighbors definitely took away from the peaceful time we had hoped for. I wish the camp host or rangers would have at least enforced the quiet hours in the mornings; we had to sleep with earplugs just to be able stay in bed past 6:00.
