Pads are unlevel and torn up. Sad to see this campground with so much potential deteriorating

The roads and sites are pretty narrow and could definitely use work. The sewer is behind the site (4) and you will probably need an extension in order to reach it from your holding tanks, depending on their location.
However, the camp hosts were kind and friendly, the area did not have many mature trees but many smaller trees so time will likely help that. My grandsons, 9 & 7 loved the wide open space and the shoreline. Oh and the sunsets over the lake are NOT to be missed!

Nice location. Sights are not level. Even using all of our blocks and trying three sights we were unable to level completely.

View of the lake and sunset was beautiful. Sites weren’t level and roads into park were in disrepair. Staff was friendly and helpful. About 1/4 of the sites were closed due to disrepair. Bath houses were usually clean with plenty of hot water. Hope you like trains.

It's a beautiful park with spacious campsites and great views of the lake. We enjoyed our stay and would go back again. Be aware though that some of the sites could use some TLC. Uneven pads, weeds, some broken campfire rings, etc. We did not use the restroom facilities but from the outside, they also looked like they needed some work. Our site had full hookups which is unusual for COE campgrounds (in our experience). All that being said, the sites and the views were awesome, the camp host was nice and we enjoyed our two day stay.

Many of the RV site pads have a significant slope (front to back).
They lock the gates from 10 pm to 10 am and there is not gate code that you can use to enter the park during this time. You can exit the park at any time but currently the exit available from 10 pm to 10 am has a significant rut in it making it hard for an RV to leave. The gate attendant recommended that if you ant to leave before 10 am, you should let them know in advance to see if they can arrange to open the usual exit gate early.
We do thank the gate attendant. They were very nice.

I always enjoy staying at this park! Spacious campsites! Friendly park guests! Beautiful view!
Like many other corps of engineer parks, these parks are showing their age and need some serious updates to the roads and campsites. If it's your first time to visit, take extra blocking for leveling your trailer. The stay is still well worth the effort.
