The spots that overlook the lake are beautiful. I rated as fair because they are the only campround I’ve ever stayed in that charges a $2 per night pet fee. This was not made clear when registering. Spot #65’s table and pit are on the opposite side of the camper door- it was awkward. The bathroom had so many flies in it it was unusable. There is also zero cell coverage with ATT. Very disappointing given how beautiful the area is. If none of the above apply I would recommend.

Campground is beautiful. Sites are spaced out quite well. Lots of shade. Traffic is managed well by virtue of having a camp check-in station. All run quite smoothly and efficiently.
One observation was vault toilet condition/service. Checked in on a Friday and the rest facility service seemed to be daily - or more than once daily thru the weekend when campground usage was high. After the weekend, toilet service seemed to be infrequent ... if at all during weekdays. Don't know the specific schedule ... but it changed noticeably after the weekend.

An overall good experience from one of the sites that have a good view of Sheridan Lake.
The reason for only a 4 star review; site 65 seems to be a unique location next to or as an additional site squeezed into the space between already existing sites in order to obtain another camping site. Number 65 is KOA close to site 66. Additionally, it's very difficult to back into. I've a 24' camper and wouldn't want to try with a much longer camper.
I'd recommend this campground, but avoid site number 65.

Very beautiful and very clean campground and bathrooms. A little hard to find a spot to fish onshore. No cell service

Beautiful sites but a bit sparse on the toilets.
Wish I had stayed for more than 1 night and had some fishing poles.
