I cannot say enough about what a wonderful time we had at Horseshoe Point! We arrived early and the guard at the gatehouse was so nice and let us go on in and setup. The site was clean and very roomy, conveniently located right across from the bath house (which is also spotless), and just a short walk to the little beach area. We can't wait to return!

Have been camping at horseshoe point for years and years love the campground and the clean water and the lack of boats and they other campers. But you need to fix the showers tired of trying to keep everything dry. Need more space and an extra room to dry off and dress.

Quiet, remote campground. Good privacy. We didn't use the facilities, but there seemed adequate bathrooms with showers. The dump station is on a bit of a hill, so I didn't try to use it since the slope would keep things from running to the drain.
I would pay close attention to the recommended vehicle length. We were in a 26 foot site with a 25 foot trailer. We just got in and it took some maneuvering. Folks next to us tried and failed since there unit was a little too big and they had too little patience.

Majority of roads inside campground are steep, narrow, with sharp angled turns. Due to near lake activities. many vehicles / boat trailers parked beyond their camp site boundaries. July 4th fireworks were loud and clear well late into the night. Prepare for additional leveling as most sites are noticeably uneven.

We pulled in late after driving 6 hours to get there. The reservation showed the pull through space would accommodate a 36 foot trailer. When we got there, we could see it was tight, but it definitely didn’t fit our 30 foot trailer. My hubs almost damaged his truck by coming with in centimeters of going off some of the railroad ties lining the space. Maybe an airstream or something without slides might stand a chance of getting a better start at it, but if you have slides, even if you get into site #1 you won’t have space to use them.
Leaving was probably the scariest drive my hubs and I ever made with the trailer. Not being familiar with the campground and just following what seemed to be the easiest path out of the park without jack knife turning. We went through the smallest road with such a tight turn by the tent camping area that we felt our trailer trying to go off the edge. It’s only by the grace of God we still have our truck and trailer. Even if we weren’t supposed to go that way, it’s easy to see how someone might accidentally go that path and it’s definitely not safe for anything other than maybe a tear drop, if that.

I’m sure the campground is nice, the people running it are nice, they did refund us right away, but the risk factor of being there at all with a 30 foot trailer and driving all that way to not fit into a space we were supposed to fit in was incredibly inconvenient and disappointing.
I would have love to visit the lake. It looked so beautiful in the dusk light, but there was just no way.
I’m going to say nothing over 22 feet to fit comfortably.

No cell service until you’re 8-10 minutes out from the site. Got showers and toilet plus electric. I’ll be back

Had a tent site on the water and it was great. Beautiful and wooded and semi private. Some sites are a little wonky and have two tiers while others would be a challenge to put more than a large tent on.
Shower houses were mostly clean but poorly ventilated. TMobile Cell service was non existent…not a complaint but be aware. Also there is some limited firewood available on site but no camp store so ice or any other supplies are about 20 minutes away.

Overall a beautiful place but choose your site carefully, preplan your supplies, and bring a map 😉
