The facility was clean and well kept. The personnel were friendly and helpful. The weather was not kind(it rained) so we did not get to hike like we planned. Overall, a good trip.

We really enjoy coming to this campground. We love the abundance of trees and the ability to see our friends in the camp next to us. It is very open concept and that’s great especially if you have kids. The only drawback are the pit toilets and showers. Both are always nasty.

We stayed on C loop Sanders cove. The bathrooms were "out of order" due to waste buildup..talked to gate people working and was told it had been that way for a month!!! It was nasty in there!! Tried to have a cookout but guests didn't have clean restrooms. Supposedly it isn't going to be repaired due to Corp of Engineers not having enough funds in their budget. That is what we were told! Pat Mayse lake is a nice lake and well used...They should do better!! We were embarrassed to tell our guests you can't use the bathrooms.
Thank you and please repair the bathrooms!

Great place to camp and the fishing was good. The ones who watches over the campground did a good job felt safe.
