Bathroom stunk like someone had been smoking in there. No soap in bathroom which is a must.

Very clean camping site and common areas with good utilities for water and electricity. The gate personnel changed the closing times a bit (left the gate open over night) because of a fishing contest, which was beneficial for the eclipse weekend. Friendly folks, helpful, and good service.

A beautiful campground, right on the lake. Large sites in among the trees. Nice picnic tables in excellent condition, large firepits. Clean pit toilets. Garbage bin is hidden and pretty far away from campsites.

This is such a lovely park! Beautiful trees, lots f song birds, and nice single track biking/hiking trails. There is also a very nice beach to hang out on. The staff are very friendly and very helpful. I believe they went out of their way to make sure we and other campers near us were enjoying ourselves. Of course, have the best view for the eclipse was a plus!

We were only there one night, but we came in to primitive tent camp on motorcycles. The campground was easy to get in and out and had everything we needed. It was quiet and the lake was very nice. I would go back and spend more time there.
