The facilities are clean and well kept. The camp ground is surrounded by a curve in the river; on a quiet night, you can hear water rolling over the memory lake dam. BUT, we reserved a camping site a full year ago-paid half the price when we made it...They did not give us the site we paid for. We were parked a distance from the rest of our group, and the site we should have had went unused t... The facilities are clean and well kept.

The campground itself is very nice, friendly campers nice lots, level campsites. Nice walking trail and setting by the river. We reserved 3 sites together and when we checked in 1 of us was moved away from the group. The lady that checked us in was so completely rude and for no reason. Our group checked in at 3 separate times and she was rude to each of us.
