Platter Flats

The quality of Army Corps of Engineer parks has plummeted since they have terminated the park attendants. Local kids take over the courtesy docks, swimming, yelling and partying. We saw a teenager jump off the dock behind a backing boat that had just launched. The operator had to take evasive action to keep from striking the teen with the propeller. We stayed from Thursday through Sunday. During that time, the bathrooms weren't serviced once. No toilet paper, and feces and urine splattered everywhere. We refused to use them. With no one to enforce the rules, partying and fast moving traffic went on all night. The gates were left open all night. We saw many arguments between the teens and boaters as the teens had the boat ramps blocked by parking in no parking zones. We will only be attending State Parks from now on the have attendants and Park Rangers.

My favorite place to camp with my horses. The trails are great and it’s a beautiful place to stay. I love the concrete pads they have at most campsites.

Very easy to set up a reservation as long as the parks are set up.

I would not recommend the park at this time. There is no guard at the gate. People can come and go as they please and the park seems to be unsupervised.

We were approached by two different women that seemed to be strung out on drugs. Both we occupants of the parks.

The police had to be called out when one of the women came up and threatened our friend and threatened harm to the horses.

Probably will not be back until the get a guard back at the gate and the park is supervised again.

Always a great place to camp and ride.
