Customer Reviews
Very clean with wonderful camp hosts and staff. Large tent lot on the water at a very reasonable price the Thurs before Memorial Day and no reservations made for this stop.
Nice COE campground with full hookups and a small handicap accessible latrine in the center of the loop. Most sites are level enough but some have quite a front-to-back slope. The loop was well maintained and with the trees blooming was just beautiful. There is access to the lake at this loop but is is steep to get to. We saw deer and turkeys here also. Not hard to get here but be advised if your GPS is routing you over the dam the bridge at the spillway has a 10 ton limit.
Enjoyed our stay. The park is very well maintained.
Nice Campsites and Friendly Staff
