Really great campground right off of Cordell Hull lake, we didn't have one but a good few of the sites were FHU. Only real downside to the park is there is virtually no cell service, but maybe that's an upside as well. Friendly camp hosts and although the bathhouses are a little dated they were very clean.

Literally our favorite campground ever!
Beautiful views of the water, deer, birds, boats, and sweetest people to meet. This time we actually relaxed and watch a baby deer born.
It’s even fun watching families fish together and walk and ride their bikes. Thank you host for watching out for our safety as well. We desperately needed this down time.

This campground is clean, spacious and has plenty to do. We had a lakeside campsite this time which I recommend if you like to fish and kayak. It was very quite and well maintained!

We had a beautiful campsite close to the swimming beach. We had our 9 year grandson with us. We decided to leave a day early (he was missing his parents). We did not say anything to the staff but put our tags in the box as we were dumping. Later that day, I received an e-mail they were refunding that last day we did not stay. That was a first for us.
