Lady at the gate was very polite and helpful. Sites are far apart. During our April weekday visit, it was quiet and about half full. Has Water, Electric -- No Wi-Fi, as expected in any Corp of Engineers Campground. Only drawback is very unlevel sights. Beautiful water views. Well maintained campground. Plenty of clear viewing local TV channels without cable.

Opening weekend at Mott Park and you figure that they had plenty of time to get bathrooms in order, but that was not the case. They were locked when we got there so we enquired about when they would be opened. They unlocked them later that evening but they were not clean at all! It was so bad, we went to buy cleaning products so that we could clean one to shower. That same evening without warning we lost water. Usually they will send an email to let us know or come by but no heads up at all so we could fill our fresh water tank. Someone finally showed up the next afternoon to restart the pump at the station. The park isn't what it used to be, lots of riff raff and questionable people in and out of the park due to no gate guards and trashy. Our view was good but that won't be enough for me to return here.

The lake was pretty and I liked the location. There was no attendant on duty the weekend we went. There was someone parked in my campsite that I reserved, I had to go to every other campsite to ask them to move the vehicles that were in my spot. With no attendant on duty, there was no one there to enforce the amount of cars or campers at a campsite. No one there to control the noise, so we had other campers playing their music loud until earlier into the morning.

Big area for kids to swim. Fishing everywhere on the lake. A large covered table for special occasions.

Grass was over grown in areas near the swimming area. It looked as if it was in poor care.
