The campground had just been reopened after having been closed for a year. The campground is well maintained and the campsites are large. I stay at water front sites whenever possible at COE campgrounds and this campground has some beautiful ones. I will say most of the other campers brought boats and fished. I did not use the rest rooms or showers. I highly recommend this campground for a good camping experience

Beautiful park!
But, the lawn contractor showed up. Mowed the grass, and left the bluebonnets. Then after a group meeting with their boss, went back and mowed them all down! They were driving the mowers erratically and fast. It was apparent that the equipment did not belong to the people operating it. We were with a group of 3 other campers. Then with plenty other places to mow, they came near our spot while I was cooking, not being mindful of the debris being discharged towards campers. I tried to tell them they were stirring up dust and leaves, they did not care. I heard one tell the other one, "if they didn't like it that they can just leave.". also we found notices on the public restroom about a boil order. The park water system had been compromised, and there was air all in the lines making the water milky. But no one told us about it, and we had already connected and ran the water through our systems. It would've been nice on the digital display board at the unattended gate to have mentioned that a boil order was in effect instead of just "park open". Those blue bonnets did not have an opportunity to go to seed and the lawn crew did not care about them or or safety.

The park was in excellent condition. I have been a park patron there for years. I’m so glad it’s open back up

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
