Great location for a campground for bikers and boaters. Campsites are open with little separation between them. Restrooms well-maintained.

A great family oriented camp ground. Very well maintained. Friendly and helpful staff. I will definitely stay here again.

Why is it that the core of engineers insist on building campsites for tents where the camping pads make it next to impossible to pound in tent stakes? Have those who design the camping pads ever stayed in a tent???? This issue is consistent across all core of engineer camping facilities.

Had a good time. Lots of things to do in the area. Only thing I can see that the place needs is more sites with electrical hookups.
