This CG is in need of serious maintenance. I booked site 15. When I arrived it had a big sink hole in the parking spot. There were loose dogs and a cat. Roads were terrible. Sites needed mowing. And one guest had to be banded.

We had an amazing time viewing the April 8 2024 eclipse here! Our spots were freshly mowed, roads were paved. There are 4 single occupancy bathrooms, each has a sink, toilet and shower. They were thoroughly cleaned every morning around 6am. The lake access is very good from this spot, it's just a couple minute walk. Each spot has a charcoal grill, fire pit, and covered concrete picnic table. We loved this campground for sure!

The campground needs updating. The roads are extremely narrow and not in the best of shape. Trees need to be trimmed more. There are only 2 public bathroom areas, which may be enough for off season, but which are too far apart and not practical. Perhaps a few porta potties would make more sense to make them more accessible for the many tenters. During our recent visit which was over the total eclipse weekend, that would have been a better solution. We would not choose to stay at this park again.

It was good, but not excellent. The restroom was OK, but with no paper and no saop an dthe shower quite simple. At the place some trees have been cutted, which could give more shadow. The place at the lake was nice, but too many road have been disturbing during night, when people went by car to the restroom

We ended up not staying here. Seemed like it was kept up well enough, and the gate staff were helpful, but there were lots of people and several dogs running loose (with owners but zero leashes). It did not promise to be a peaceful stay so we went up the road a bit.
