We were in the Sweetgum loop, site 15. The site was very good. The camp hosts, Bobby and Faith were very helpful.

Camp site had plenty of space. Facilities close by (were always clean and well stocked with TP). Fishing close by. My only complaint is the boat ramp. People were revving their boats to load up until midnight. I swear an air boat was right outside my tent at one point. Team no sleep. Did not care about no Verizon coverage because nature. Maps provided at check in could use an update with an estimate of how far the trails are.

Hosts both Lee and Jessie were excellent! The sites were large and the campground mostly quiet. Only drawback was really no cell service. We have Verizon. Didnt use the bath house but did a peek. They were clean but definitely could use some updating. Would camp there again if in the area.

Pros: Quiet, Clean Restrooms

Cons: Small campsites, right over one another, no cell reception (tmobile), pesky raccoons (tried to get in our tent all night long even when leaving site super clean overnight), no communication from anyone, the precious tenants overstayed - had to be kicked out, leading to us waiting to set up.

Our site was the most private which was enjoyable...but those raccoons.... good grief.
