The spots are large. We probably could have set up 5 tents and still had room. The lake side lots are a smaller but still larger than most. I didn't sleep tho because there was a party crew up most of the night keeping everyone in tents awake..... so the actual point of being here from one night was a fail.... I got small naps in between the loud laughter and roars.
I love camping. Going to a Corp of engineers camp ground is a way better experience than a state owned campground. The bathroom/ shower is cleaned EVERYDAY! The lady that does it is there at 7 am cleaning our bathroom. Walls, showers, doors, knobs, toilets, of course. I even watched her sweep the playground equipment. ( every 2 weeks, ) Then 2 times a week, she cleans out the firepits of ash. I did see another lady cleaning one day. Some people are not appreciated enough. I am posting this to say .....these woman should get a raise... I thanked them in person and now I'm thanking them to the world ! Have a great winter of bathroom ladies. The campground bathroom is cleaner than some restaurant ( that recently had lystria) that " are practicing better sanitary guidelines " Those guidelines SHOULD ALWAYS BE PRACTICED, not justwhen you're open. Does anyone remember the Plandemic? Anyway, I think I'm getting a point across.
***Update, the tree between 76 and 78 has been cut down. In September we were on site 84. A large tree branch came down between 84 and 85 and it hit the car of the campers on site 85. Again I recommend checking out dying trees before you park your RV and vehicles*** If you stay on sites 76 or 78 there is a huge dead tree between the sites. A recent storm dropped this branch on our camper. We reported to the fee booth. We were told that someone came out to access the tree while we were gone. There are a few dead trees in the campground that need to be removed. The dead trees are dangerous to campers during storms. Before you book a site, check the tree situation for that area.
