They need to make stop signs one way signs and speed limit signs along bigger because it seems like no one could see or obey them. And if you have a dog make sure they clean up after them. It makes it bad for those that do obey the rules.

Campsite was in Old Duck section site #203. Site was a bit tight getting in as there were ditches on either side of the driveway. My motorhome is 36'. Got it in with our friends directing me. The road to the other parts of the campground is under construction. So a make shift dump station was, "constructed" by opening a manhole near the boat launch restrooms. The restroom and showers were a block construction and fairly clean. Sites had heavy, metal picnic tables and a fire pit with attached grill. Site was gravel and some grass, but I wanted the shady site. Since fall was approaching, the oak trees were dropping acorns on the motorhome when a good breese blew. Lake looked nice. Lots of large boats on the lake. Some campers had pontoon boats tied off behind the lake front campsites. We had an electric only site. Many of the site beyond ours were primitive, with potable water faucets scattered among them. Overall it was a very nice weekend, with freinds.
