It is always the best getting out in nature and away from the world. We love this campground and the easy access to the reservoir. It is unfortunately getting more crowded every year, but what can you do. The camp hosts are the best, Dee & Deb. This is a lovely spot to lose your worries and find yourself again. Perfect for families.

Deb and Dale are absolutely amazing! They make us feel so welcome and are so helpful. We absolutely love being up at the lake and fishing. We also love hiking up at the trailhead in Ledgefork.

The camp host was absolutely amazing this year. I wish I would have gotten her name. We try to come up every year and we love it.

We love Smith and Moorehouse. Deb and Del are great camp hosts. They touch base nearly every day to make sure we don’t need anything.

Campground is very nice and camp hosts Dale & Deb were very helpful. Walking distance to the dam. Only downside was that longtime campers ran their generators almost all day long and it wasn't hot so not for AC.

This is our favorite place to camp. We have been coming here for years.
The hosts are the best. They are friendly and helpful.
We love the fairy forest they have set up in their camp area. Make sure to check it out during the day and also at night when it is all lit up with fairy lights.
