Simply put a super camp ground. Very limited cell service, but certainly not a show stopper. The only minor complaint is no way to realistically rinse your black water tank.

It was great experience except for the skunks kept getting in the trash at night because we didn’t have a hook at our camp site. We experienced a lot of small white bugs all over our vehicles , camper, and tents like they were overpopulated bad this year. And where we rented the pontoon boat the upholstery had so much damage it needs a little tender, loving Care. Other than that we really had a great time! Thank ya for the memories 🤗

All good ! I did notice that a lady used the sewer dump water hose in her potable water connection on her RV.
might need signs

This is a beautiful campground with great waterfront sites and beautiful water views. The the Bearwaller Trail is a great hiking trail. The camp hosts are very nice and knowledgeable about the area. There is a free washer and dryer which is awesome!! I would come back again!

Incredible open site with lots of grass and flat level area. My dog loved the lake! Fishing was great! We had good cell service (TMobile). I prefer this location because there is septic. Some sites don't. I would choose to pay a little more for a premium site!

Haven't been to the campground but a couple times this summer, as always the campground is the best. In the past the hosts were very unfriendly but this time the current hosts were much better. I know that dealing with the public can be difficult, however, if they don't accept that then do something else instead of making life difficult for others.

We love this park but it’s very hard to get a reservation. Many people book them cancel and you better hope you catch it. Had no cell service at site 107 as well as no shade.
