Absolutely spectacular. I have traveled full time for 3 years and this is my favorite place. Large sites with lake views. Clean bathrooms and showers with heat and hot water. Trash dumpster by shower houses. Verizon has 2 bars. I will make sure to travel back through.

We did camping two nights and was awesome staying in the woods. We also enjoyed in the degray lake. You can bring your own boats and spend time in the lake. Overall we had a great time there.

It was ok. Not very well maintained anymore. No one checked our reservation. Bathrooms are highly outdated, No water hook ups either but it was quiet for the most part.

Great area to camp with family. If you have a boat, this is certainly a perfect area. Most camp sites are large and more level than the Southern side of the lake. Electric only. Dump station and fresh water at front entrance. Bath houses were pretty clean. It’s not a resort area and doesn’t claim to be.
