The pad we were in had no drainage for run- off so half of our tent got flooded. It must have been 2-3" of water on half the pad. We made the decision to pack up and leave the same day we got there.

Absolutely love this Lake and Johnson Creek group camp. We have our family reunions here every other year.

This could be a decent campground if managed properly. When we arrived, we discovered every scrap of grass around our reserved site was covered with a truck, car, or boat. We asked for a different site, the volunteer host was very nice and let us move to a different site that was open. That one was marginally better, however that loop was also covered with boats and trailers on most grass between sites. There was an open area behind our site, but that was occupied by a makeshift fish cleaning station complete with lawn chair, plastic table, and waste buskets lying around. This was one of three such setups interspersed between the campsites. This area is a fish camp, not a destination. If you don't want to be looking at a trailered bass boat all visit, stay away. Additionally, the grass was very high everywhere. Mowing where appropriate might have mitigated that, but its probably hard to do with boats parked everywhere.

The park itself is quite and nice. The grass had not been mowed in our camping area. We had tall grass with lots of sand fleas.

Grass was tall and looked as if it had not been mowed in a very long time. Site had a lot of trash on it.
Enjoyed the full hookup and price was reasonable.
