Went to see all the water that was being released due to the amount of rain we got and filled up the reservoir. Great place to fish, go for a walk, barbecue or just to hang out.
Very nice Corp of Engineers campground located at the base of Lake Sayerville dam. Close by marina for boating and fishing. Sites are gravel and not completely level. There is a good amount of space in each site but no significant privacy. Bathroom was clean but showers were flooded and temperature of the water could not be regulated.
Dam spillway is amazing, quite the experience. Riveting to watch knowing if you fell in would not survive one minute. Clean, well maintained little park with many friendly and considerate fellow visitors
Beautiful camping sites, wonderful area to relax. Verizon service excellent. Friendly people.
A great campground at the end of the Saylorville Lake. We went during the week, so the campground was very quiet, but I imagine it fills up quickly on Fridays during the summer. Bathrooms and showers were clean. The only "problem" were the vechicals at night on the top of the dam being obnixous! :)
