Everything was in good shape, and the lake was beautiful and not cold.

The camping spot was perfect - shaded, clean, quiet, soft ground for a tent, two parking spots, and right alongside Lake Bonaparte. Firewood was easily found on the grounds. Restrooms are close by but there was no note of showers. There is a resort just down the road where you can get basic supplies and have breakfast in the morning. I was tickled by seeing my name on the placard when I pulled in for the dates I reserved. Friendly attendant :).

Loved this campground and perfect little lake. Facilities were clean, lots of shade, loved the comfort staton with flush toilets and running water but it is on the other non reservation side of the campground. Same with dumpsters, non on the reservation side. No cell service, Verizon. Will defiantly come back!

Great place to camp. We had a good amount of space at our campsite. Easy water access for small boats or paddle boards. Staff was on top of changes in reservations and updated signs daily.
