This is an amazing campground! Very well maintained, great sites, and a beautiful location. The pit toilets were so clean and so were the flush toilets. It was easy to find but felt secluded. The folks running it were so kind, happy, and helpful. We tent camped and there was a large flat place for the tent. It was nice having 2 picnic tables at our site, both in great condition. They don't sell firewood at the campsite so bring your own, the fire pit was just right. I highly recommend this campground.

We really enjoyed our stay at Pat Mayes West. We were in loop B and stayed in tents. We were able to find a flat place in our site to put out tent, but thought some of the sites may be more challenging to find a level tent placement. In early April the area was lush and green with many mature trees, and was truly excellent for birding with a surprising abundance of species. Loop B has a pit toilet that was always well cleaned and stoked with toilet paper, and you could go to loop A to get showers. Cell reception ranged from great to just barely usable depending on where in loop B we were, and was best at the main shore of the lake. We made sure to arrive before the 10pm cutoff, and noticed drive over spikes when exiting early in the morning - so that element of the instructions appears accurate. Overall we would recommend this campground!

Safe, quiet, peaceful, clean and beautiful campgrounds. Perfect for enjoying the eclipse.
The birding was great, bring binoculars or camera.

A very quiet and relaxing campground to enjoy with family. Great acess to the water at our site (105). The one shade tree gave a nice area of moving shade through out the day for 3-4 people. Could see fish jumping nearby and a variety of birds. We didn't see any wood for sale at the park, so bring your own. Near a dock so occasionally boats would come in to park.
