Nice place but no protocol for late arrival. People at gate were not helpful when I call to say that I had a road issue and will be arriving 30 minutes after they close the gate. Not willing to wait or help in any way.

We stayed Monday and Tuesday nights. It was very relaxing, it wasn’t crowded and the host were awesome and helpful. We will return there. Loved our camp spot. My husband wasn’t thrilled over the showers, they could use some updating but was nice to have. Hopefully they will improve showers and add more showers.
Thank you for providing a very clean camping areas.

Great location near the lake. Our site was level enough we didn't need to use blocks to level. Would have been better if there was a shower/bathroom closer. The toilet isn't flush but a one-seater latrine. Beach area is nice and located in the B-loop. Boat launch near and busy. Park staff make frequent rounds. Front gate closes at 10p.m. and there is no reentry till the next morning. Park is close to Paris, TX where they have the Eiffel Tower replica with red hat located at the Love Civic Center and there is the Red River Valley Veteran Memorial in the same area and worthy of a visit. We would stay again.

This is a nice shade campground in a least in the B-section! There was a swimming area but barely no sand edge and exposed tree roots that were easy to trip on, and no bathroom close by. A few things I found were a disadvantage was no dumpsters for campers trash in the camping area (saw a few small trash cans in the swimming area only). No flush toilets or shower in the B campground area. Sites close and randomly placed, with some hard top pads, some gravel and some dirt with grass. Enforcement of no alcohol consumption was nonexistent! Most all the other campers and in swimming area were openly drinking the 4 full day we were there.

For such a large campground, there was only one very outdated shower house near the entrance and beside the dump station. There was one dump station for campground. Campground B is the only area with 50 Amp even though recreation.gov filter shows many 50 amp campsites in A and C. I told the campground and recreation.gov about the filter inaccuracies but did not get the impression anything will be corrected. Camp area B has a small beach. Signs at the beach indicate no alcohol allowed but lots of beer boxes and trash left behind. We visited in June on a weekend and cars/motorcycles came through continuously heading to the beach and/or site seeing . Site B4 base is concrete and almost level (used one pad on driver side) and had partial shade. Very little shade in the afternoon in June. No view of water but a decent amount of space from outer loop road and next site B6, unfortunately site B3 was a bit too close.

Enjoyed very much and give great credit for park rangers controlling restless of people's of unrest ! The park was very well maintained! However , feel that phasing out gate attendants is a very detrimental mistake !
