We were not able to rent a space online for some reason, so we took the chance they had one available. The beach campground didn't have any spaces available. The beach side does offer water and electricity at most sites. The Equestrian side does have a dump site with fresh water as well as a fish cleaning station. The boat ramp is very close. Easy access. Brushy Creek is a beautiful non wake lake. There are lots of buried trees all around. You need to watch closely for small stumps sticking out of the water. Many coves to go into. Tons of fish. The deepest that we came upon was 58' deep. Some areas are deeper. I read there are old bridges and roads under the water. Great places for the fish to hide. Read up on the history of the lake.
