Beautiful location for the 2024 eclipse. Surprised to find this has far more than standard federal site: electricity and water at sites, four individual bathrooms with showers, and dump station. Some noise in April 2024 with bridge reconstruction nearby but not terrible. Boat ramp closed due to construction but you can still put in kayaks from water edge. Peaceful and beautiful slice of history here.

Site 25 has a beautiful view of the lake. Really liked that each campsite has a covered picnic table. There is a nice playground for kids. The boat ramp is closed and there is not a swimming area. There are 4 individual bathrooms with showers. The bathrooms were decent. I wish there was a more secure way to get into the park. Anyone can drive into the park as there was not a gate. One other things that can be improved is the gravel driveways for the campsites. Weeds have overgrown. When it rained the place was very muddy.

May have been because this was the only Army Corp park open after the April May, June weather events, but park was crowded, that's not awful but their was a group that moored boats right near the camp played music talked loudly and raced the boat motors until 3AM, I'm sure the entire park could hear

The site we booked hadn't been mowed in who know how long. The area that our RV was to be parked on was completely obscured by grass and weeks that were 8 inches tall at least. The area around the site and under the picnic table cover were also overgrown to the point that walking in them would be a risk to insect bites and snakes would have a great place to hide. The park rangers blamed the Corp for hiring contractors that poorly maintained the sites for campers. The only sites that were mowed were ones that campers themselves had brought in mowers and weed-eaters to clean up themselves. The area around the dump station had weeds that were knee high ( I am 5'6" for reference). It is ridiculous that the park had not been prepared for a holiday weekend stay.
