Since the lake is such a big part of the park maybe a statement about lake levels on the web site before you book might be nice. I would have come either way. I am mainly looking for hiking in new locations. I covered all the streets and was able to spend some time in the lake bed exploring. Not the greatest for hikers though. I did fish some but was sad the dock was closed also.

1st time here. Nice campground and close to everything in Temple. Volunteer Hosts worked well with us during medical emergency. Bathrooms were small and clean but needed minor repairs. Could use larger benches in showers.

I arrived later than anticipated, 10:30 pm. I was tired and ready to set up and go to sleep. I punched in the digit key code and nothing happened. I tried several more times, double checking my reservation information. I tried calling the phone number posted and let it ring, and ring, and ring. No answer. I gave up and decided to turn around and get a hotel. Half way back down the road I decided to try one more time. Still no luck. I saw a travel trailer and a golf cart with its lights on so I decided to knock and ask for help. The guy replied, "Well, did you hit # before the code?" Where in the reservation did it read hit # 1st??? I went back and tried. Still no luck. 3 more tries and I was in! I got to my campsite and like Goldie Locks...there was a trailer in my spot. Deep sigh. There I go again knocking on someone's trailer door late at night. She explained the issue of her trailer not fitting in the spot she reserved b/c of a tree limb. I told her no worries, I just didn't want to be taking someone elses spot b/c mine was taken. Finally I got my site set up and got to sleep! The next morning I saw the campground was soooo beautiful and clean! Very pleasant enviroment with so many freindly deer.

Last minute decision to leave a day early. Sire was gorgeous with deer roaming around all over the sites. Only had a quick overnight but park was clean and well maintained

It would be nice if the side of park with all of the amenities was open instead of closed so campers could use the boat ramp and park.
The side that is open has none of these. Have to use the public ramp. Doesn't make sense to me
