This is a good place for an overnight stay. I don’t think we’d stay more than a couple of days.

This is a beautiful place to camp. We were on camp site#1 with a beautiful view of Lake Bardwell. You can swim in the lake too. I read some reviews that other campers left that said the grass had not been mowed and was overgrown and that the roads had pot holes. I figured the COE didn’t mow because of the beautiful wild flowers. All of the pot holes have been repaired. I would definitely stay here again. The sites have water and electricity but no sewer. There is a dump station.

The whole park was in need of mowing especially around the campsites. The swim area was so overgrown that we didn't even try to go through it. The old swim divider has been laying in the way by lot #1 for over 2 years.

Not concerned about the post for snakes in the area but became a concern when the area was highly overgrown with grass & weeds. Beautiful landscape but could've been better.

Park seems like it needs a little love and care. Beach area looked like it had not been maintained, and there were lots of like burs that were everywhere that we had to keep picking off the dog.

Beautiful wildflowers down to the right of the boat ramp. It’ was nice and quiet…..the ducks were friendly and we’ll definitely come again.
