The campground is well maintained. All the roads are paved and there is a nice playground for children. The host was friendly and helpful with information on her top choices of campsites. The only down side of the place for me was the bathhouse. The men's side did not have a shower curtain and the door lock was broken. It was clean and stocked except there was no hand-soap (or a dispenser).... The campground is well maintained. All the roads are paved and there is a nice playground for children.

If you're going there for the lake it's a pretty good camp. There are no hiking trails or sights to see other than the lake.

Site #33 - wonderful. Quiet camp, hosts take very good care of it, clean, curfew enforced, no mouthy @$$ drunks ruining everything. Nice play grounds also. But back to Site #33 - it was amazing for our little pop up and would be OK for a tent, but if you use a bigger RV then you won't get up the hill to this, or fit even if you do manage. The drive way is very steep, it curves, and there is... Site #33 - wonderful. Quiet camp, hosts take very good care of it, clean, curfew enforced, no mouthy @$$ drunks ruining everything.

The drive way is very steep, it curves, and there is a tree very close to the pavement you have to dodge going backwards. You basically drive through another camp site getting there so if they are in the way it would be hard getting anything bigger up there. Otherwise at the top you are King Of the Hill above your neighbors with a private beach below to swim or launch your boat from. Really enjoyed the place. If you want a better swim beach, go over to Site #22 - there's no shade to camp there but if nobody is using it you can park your car there just to swim, great spot to swim from. It's not a far walk to just walk to 22 instead of drive. At #33, bring extra water hose to reach the spickette. We were there over Independence Day and it was not loud or obnoxious like most camps are over holidays, so special thanks to the hosts for enforcing rules, and the neighbors for being decent people.

Our campsites 17 & 18 were great! The pond on 18 is Not for swimming (extremely muddy like quick sand, dirty, hot water) The camp grounds were good but the lake was not. The water was extremely dirty even for a lake, wasn't very cool, a lot of dead fish floating & washed up on shore. Definitely wouldn't come to swim in the lake again but good camp grounds.

Great US Army Corps of Engineers operated campground. Nice sites close to lake. Many sites do not have sewer, but they have a dump station. Some sites you share a water hookup with your neighbor to fill your tank. Very friendly camp host when were there. Great fishing spot. It rained the whole week we were there, so we couldn't enjoy it as much as we wanted to. We'll be back!
