Great camp hosts who let us change spots early. This campground is awesome. 3 huge loops plus a tent section with fantastic views of the lake. We stayed 2 nights, and changed sites once. The reviews are correct. I have a good cell and data signal too.

Really enjoyed camping out at the reservoir! We got to canoe the area and had plenty of fun. We reserved for two nights, but unfortunately had to leave early because our neighbors were so loud well into the night (about 3:00am). Something to consider if you're wanting a quiet time out in the woods. Glad that we were able to enjoy the day before heading out.

Great location for swimming and fishing. There are picnic tables and a marina where boats can be rented or fuel purchased. Shore fishing is possible. Some free parking along the road but. It in the little beach area. Watch out because some of the roads are closed by Pactola this summer (2024).

Wonderful campground right next to the reservoir. Primitive camping- no hook ups. Pit toilets were clean. The campsites are well maintained. It’s a really beautiful location with lots of trees and wildflowers.
