We met here with our RV meetup group. Outstanding site except for the jets taking off at all hours of the day and night from the adjacent Waco airport. Showers were nice and clean. Great location to view sunsets over the water.

The campground is a hidden gem! We had a site on the water (63) which was between two rocky beaches up on a ledge. Beautiful sunset. We stayed during a heavy storm and our site drained well - virtually no mud. Right under the flight path of the Waco Airport, we enjoyed watching the occasional airplane. Not too noisy, in fact quiet and peaceful overnight. Very large, well spaced sites. Many shelter... The campground is a hidden gem!

Right under the flight path of the Waco Airport, we enjoyed watching the occasional airplane. Not too noisy, in fact quiet and peaceful overnight. Very large, well spaced sites. Many shelters are damaged due to storms, so no shade unless you bring your own. There is a restroom with showers and a dump station but we didn’t use either so no reports on that. Plenty of road to walk on, and the dogs didn’t get any stickers in the feet although we did upset some fire ants. Doh! Ouch. Definitely worth the visit.

Site 10 has no shade on the trailer, but does have a covered picnic table. There are steps with no handrail to it. Great view of the lake! Loop has few sites, so it was quiet & peaceful. Nice restrooms with individual shower rooms.

We stayed at Site 21 which was a lakefront pullthrough. Beautiful sunset views. The restrooms are a little dated but clean with hot water.

Nice COE park with good rv parking. Did not even notice it being close to airport. Lake views were real nice.
