site 84 was very difficult to get into. Thankfully the camp host came and helped us back into the site.
The driveway was narrow and ditches on both sides.

Love the corps of engineers campgrounds! Sites are not packed in, many with vegetation buffers between them. Many primitive sites that have fantastic lake views.
