The sites were nice very spacious and private. Ours was very sloped but we managed in the shade and lots of trees. Watch out for the acorns dropping!! The other site we rented for our teens and their friends to tent on was nice and open and sunny. The camp host on the other hand WOW!!! They were not very friendly and were on the lookout for our kids all weekend. Their site was between us and the kids, when I say kids I am talking boys and girls ages 17 to 20. They nitpicked everything they could and told them about it. Watched them like a hawk just looking for something to yell at them about. We asked the campers beside the kids if they were being a problem because I was going to reprimand them for it and they said no they were no problem at all. They were up late and they could hear them talking but it wasn't so loud that it was disturbing. That was the only thing they told us. We had to be close to the host because of the campground being closed everywhere else. But, that shouldn't of made any difference the kids were not doing anything wrong. We stayed over the weekend of Sept 17, 2021 and the host last name was Fox in loop Old Duck.

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.

This year it was very bad because of the lack of maintenance I hope they do more to update the Facilities
