Overall a very quiet rustic getaway. Would love to see the pit toilets eliminated and replaced with running water (flies are terrible!) and the army corp making that area a no wake zone (boat got beat up continuously from other boat's wakes while moored)

Stayed on site 27. Great shade in the afternoon, you will hear the boats in the morning if there is a derby. We recommend bringing a luggable loo as the vault toilets were heavily used and covered in flies. The picnic table was under water during the recent flood and was caked in mud so we switched with a site further up. The rangers came by mid afternoon both days. Plenty of sticks around to start a fire.

Make sure you have lots of fenders to keep the wake from beating your boat up or anchor off shore . I see they drilled a well but still are not supplying water.
