My family stayed here on our first camping trip with our new to us pop up camper. Site was level, didn't require leveling and location was prime. Very close walking distance to the clean restrooms. Camp hosts Jesse and Lee were top notch, won't hesitate to stay there again! Thank u for the memories!

Camp Hosts Jessie and Lee were exceptionally helpful and friendly. They were very visible around the loop making sure all was in working order and the sites were clean. The area is beautiful. A nice walking path by the lake. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the campground. Bonus was the sewer connection that you don't typically find the these forestry sites. We'll be back.

3 star is a stretch. Our campsite was on the water, which was nice, but there are only a few of those. Fairly decent walking trail. But that's the only highlights. Camp host was very invasive, and not helpfull. No firewood available for sale, no soap or toilet paper in ladies bathroom. Notified the host, and his reply was "it's on order". Overall neutral experience.

The campground is surrounded by the Sam Houston national forest. Other than the occasional noisy speed boat, it is very peaceful. There were some issues with the hiking trails directly around the campground. Some of the trails were closed due to foot bridge problems. The facilities are fairly well maintained and everything works in the restrooms.
