Army Corps of Engineers campground. New asphalt roads, drives, campsites are gravel or cement. Some have full hook-ups. Very quiet. Pleasant.

Nice campground IF you don't want something to do. Boring for kids, no playground other than 4 swings which if you use puts black on your legs, no real paths And the ones they do have used real Big Rock. So you better have a off-road bike. Not really electric bike compatible , no lake access other than a small path to no where. Only one bath house. Lots of loose rock on roads so we had 3 accidents...

New concrete sites which are nice. Won't be back. Then they added these car stoppers on the sites which turn into a trip hazard. Whoever designed these does not camp as many of the sites are not level. Try other camp grounds, indian creek was nice

The camp sites have been completely remodeled. Full hookups 30, 50 and 15amp power. Water pressure was great. Site were very long and all concrete - some were double wide. We loved it here.

A great, nice & clean place. Super quiet and you can hear nature while you sleep as if it's a recording. We stayed in the hook up with water and it had a built in fireplace & grill top. The bathrooms & showers are old, but well kept and the water pressure is great. My only complaint is that there isn't cold water for the showers. You're either taking a hot shower or a shower so hot it could poach... A great, nice & clean place. Super quiet and you can hear nature while you sleep as if it's a recording.
