If you want to stay in a filthy homeless camp, this is your place!!! I have never seen such a disgusting Corp of Engineer campground. Talk about taking such a beautiful landmark and making it into a trash zone!!!! I have never felt so unsafe.

We stayed here on an overnight at one of our first COE campgrounds. With our 30’ travel trailer. We stayed in mid-November. The park is beautiful with 180 degree views of the lake.

We stayed in mid-November. The park is beautiful with 180 degree views of the lake. We used none of the facilities although the bathroom and showers looked clean, but do not know whether the water in the showers was hot. We weren’t sure how they were going to be lit since there were no switches for the lights. Our only problem with the campground was the difficulties we experienced with power. The site we had reserved (59) did not give any power to our RV surge protector on 50 amps. We moved to Site 60. Here the 50 amp plug was giving too high of voltage (over 130v). We switched to 30 amp plug and were able to get by with only 30 amps although we did forget we were on 30 amp and tripped the breaker. Coming from I 30, the GPS took us through the country. Getting back on I 30, we found many more services available at the next exit which we had never imagined were so close. One other concern was the drop off from the RV pad. We positioned our door as to not be able to get out of the RV safely in the dark. We are returning as we head back.

This is a wonderful campground! Has a nice swimming beach. It's a little primitive, but that's far preferable to me!
