Campsite was great; shaded and level. 2 problems: entrance to park is backward-enter on the left and exit on the right and signage to enter is not large or easy to see, 2 - roads are narrow in the park. Have to be very careful navigating.

For number one the bath houses were 110° with no ventilation. The lake shoreline was so full of debris it was impossible to walk out to launch your kayak. Been camping here for 20 years. The place really seems to be going down. The Corps of Engineers seems to have lost the handle on pristine maintenance or preventive maintenance I love this campground and it really hurts my heart to see it neglected.

Beautiful park. Camping right on the lake. Only spent one night so didn’t spend any time in the area.

Love this campground! Site 42 is right on playground so grandkids loved it. Only drawback was no shade for camper. Bathhouse just across road was very clean and had good water pressure and lots of hot water. Very quiet and peaceful. Will definitely return.

Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
Fires & fuel
