Bells Marina Campground

If you are looking for THAT place, this could be the one. I'll start with the cons because it's a short list and one of them is my personal preference. I found that the online reservation to be a little confusing only because the campground runs on site cottages and a hotel as well. Most of the sites are longterm with only a few weekenders which leads me to my 2nd con. Kind of quiet when it comes to that "campground community" interactions but, that may be your cup of tea. I like to share adult beverages with new friends if you know what I mean. Fire Ants, lots of them so beware. And finally, the water pressure in the mornings was pretty bad but, as the morning pregressed it returned to normal. My rig is an American Eagle 38a, there was plenty of room to maneuver on the property. The site was easy on the hook ups, very clean, came with a fire ring and picnic table. The pads are fairly level, gravel, and have railroad ties on the perimeter. My site had a beautiful oak tree with a swing and a view of the lake, all of them do really. Which brings me to why you try this place a least once, the lake. Have a boat? Bring it. Don't have a boat? Call the local guides! Want to stroll? There is plenty of lakeside beach front, docks, and green space for you, your honey, and the pooches. My sweetie and I sat in the lakeside rockers (plenty of seating for everyone) and watched the fishes jump, the gators swim, and the herons fly by. My dogs just loved swimming in the lake but, keep an eye out for the reptiles! Bell's had a nice area for eating/recreation, plenty of well kept tables and chairs, covered gazebo with prepping and grilling stations, volleyball, bag toss, boat rentals, and a large field. There was also some small child play equipment alongside so you could watch them as you cooked. At the boat launch there are dock slips available for overnight, beachhead for day grounding, and a fish cleaning station. The bath house was roomy, updated, and had two washers and driers, coin operated of course. Site amenities included a well stocked store and a large separate area for the fisherman. The property is gated with registered guest key fobs, no riff raff here, and has restaurant. I'll be back and bring some friends too but, they can stay in the hotel or grab a cottage located onsite.

We stayed here for a week and kids enjoyed the dock catching small bluegill. Nice looking out over the water and great place if you have a fishing boat. Park was clean, quiet at night and had big grassy area by lake to use. Site #10 was fairly level but approach had a dip that came close to bottoming out our large Class A. Water pressure low but usable. Okay value overall at $75 a night.

Very nice place, clean and well maintained. Jud, one of the owners, was very friendly and told us he and his wife are 5th generation owners. Highly recommend for a quiet laid back experience

I had a great time at Bells Marina!! They have plenty of seating next to the water so you can view the wild life or just relax in tranquility, it is so peaceful. If you like fishing, they have plenty of amenities for you. They sell anything you need to catch a fish with,(in the camp store) and they also have two boat ramps and a nice dock where you can get a slip to park your boat. There is also a playground for the kiddo's, and a restaurant so that you can enjoy your stay and not have to worry about anything!!!
