Update: if you are looking for property close to the lake, I just listed one mile from Udall so stopped to take more photos. Was out showing property in the area so stopped by to see the lake. We used to frequent this campground🏕️ when I was young. Loved when the boat dock was there. Things have changed a lot over the years but then again so much is still the same. We swam at the boat ramps... Update: if you are looking for property close to the lake, I just listed one mile from Udall so stopped to take more photos. Was out showing property in the area so stopped by to see the lake. We used to frequent this campground🏕️ when I was young. Loved when the boat dock was there. Things have changed a lot over the years but then again so much is still the same. We swam at the boat ramps mostly. There’s a new ramp I hadn’t seen. Still a great place to launch your boat and have a picnic.

7AM lawnmowers started mowing next to my tent; early mowing at a campground is my pet peeve. Morning filled with loud disruptions and locals driving through with fishing boats, feeling unsafe - maybe it’s all fine, but as a woman, I don’t recommend staying here alone.

The corp of engineers needs to fix a ramp. So it that means it needs to regulate the water level better. The camp ground is ok. We did not stay at the camp ground, but we did see it as we tried to unload the boat.
