The Upper Loop of this campground was great. We stayed at site 11 which is on a spur off the main loop that has 3 sites (10 - 12). The first couple nights we had the entire upper loop to ourselves and it was very quiet. The Bathhouse was clean. There is only 1 shower in each bathroom (men, women and community). There are no garbage cans in the upper loop so we took our garbage to the dumpster each evening when we went to shower. There are 2 vault toilet units each containing 2 toilets. They were clean and did not smell too bad. There are two very chlorinated water sources next to each vault toilet. One had incredible water pressure making it hard to fill containers without getting wet; the other was slower. We did not have any interactions with the campground host, not sure if they drive around the campground during the day as we were gone until midafternoon each day. The campground has ice and firewood. We were able to find our own firewood within the campground and went to the nearest town for ice so I don't know any costs for ice or firewood. The swimming area is deep and has a very muddy bottom that you easily sink into. It should be dredged out.
We stayed during the week leading up to the 4th of July. Due our schedule we had to check out on July 4th but were required to pay through the 6th given it was a holiday weekend. A little frustrated about that, but the cost is low enough compared to other campgrounds I was willing to bite the cost. The campground is near Cooks Forest but doesn't have the routine crowd. My complaints would be dogs that bark at everything throughout the night and people talking loudly until 2 AM. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend this campground's upper loop to anyone. The lower loop, located across the main access road has sites that are closer together and less shade.

nice location, quiet campsite, the only downside is that it was a bit muddy around the picnic table due to the terrain
