Once I cleaned up from the previous birthday party it was a bit better. Having the water running the whole time was interesting as I reported the issue and it was still just running when I left.

Bring fans if you camp in the summer in a 50 amp camper.

This was our first visit. We followed Google Maps and found our site without any problems. The check-in attendants were nice. We were informed that there was a burn ban. This was pretty upsetting to find out during check-in because we did not propane setup for cooking. The burnban was not posted anywhere on the website during reservation, no advanced warning at all. With that being said we had to travel to Paris, TX to buy a propane setup so we could eat over our long weekend there. The campsites were not well maintained. The grass was tall and the site was covered in trash. This site sits beside the boot ramp which was always busy. There is no adequate parking for the trucks and trailers which made parking near our site difficult. The swim area (had to leave the campsite and drive around the cove) was nice and decently clean. While we were at our campsite or at the swimming area people were using charcoal grills to cook. The park ranger drove up numerous times and never said anything. Overall it was a descent trip but I wish the "rules" applied to everyone and we could have saved $100 by not buying a propane cooking setup. But Hey, rules are rules. If we stay here agin we will stay in a more secluded spot and come prepared to clean our area before we setup camp. Oh, and bring the propane cooking setup for backup just incase.

It rained the first night, but drained and dried up fast. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Big Pine trees and hardwoods made for a nice shaded camping area. My Verizon signal was sufficient for my hotspot to work for me to remote work!
