lake is up and the fish are biting.

Great ti m e

Had a great time

When I was given an entry code I expected an electric gate with a key pad. Instead it was a coded pad lock with a manual gate. Extremely hard to see in the dark without a light source. With the removal of paid full time gate attendants, seems to me the USACE could at least install electronic gates. Other than the rain the fishing and stay were great.

The ants and stickers were horrible. The grass was tall but probably because of all the rain. There is no awning over the picnic table but really didn't matter to us, but may to some. It was a stormy weekend and must have been a lot of cancellations, as the spots on both sides of us were empty, making for a perfect spot. Just watch the ants and stickers and it makes for a perfect spot.

Great trip as always, camping here for more than 30 years

We had a great stay at site #4. Very large site with private area behind and on a corner so only 1 camper beside you. Tons of parking area also. Showers were hot but definitely needed a bit of cleaning attention. The only disappointment I have was that we had to book a site online only. There were plenty of sites available but you could not drive in unless you had an advanced reservation. How silly is this? We originally went to Rocky Creek Campground up the road but the gate was closed and locked with a sign reservations only. We then ended up here. Luckily there was someone in the booth when we drove up and she explained the only way we could stay was to utilize my phone and make an acct. online and then book a site. She was very helpful but Sheesh....Sometimes you just want to go camping. Also...the recreation.gov site does not say "reservations only" so this only adds to the confusion. What if I didn't have a computer or a phone with data...I would have been turned away just like Rocky Creek.

What has changed, have to unlock gates to get in and out of park no one was every at gate. Also how is a person to check in after 7pm if they lock gate up especially on weekends. Gates normally stayed open until 10pm. Seems like alot has changed, are the gate attendance have made there on rules on how this works.

Nice lake. Trail is easy. Good place for kids.
