All the amenities you need are here and security keeps the place safe. Boat docks are are easy access. This place is beautiful!!! So much to do and see !!!
I am not a big camper. I have bad allergies. I was already sick when I came. I can't sleep on the hard ground. I have a herniated disc in my lower back and bone spurs in my neck. I've only been a few times in my life. The weather was almost perfect, except that it rained early in the morning, the day we were going to leave, like 1am. Everything got wet. Everyone got very little sleep. I at least got to lay in a hammock for the 1st time in many years. I'd forgotten how comfortable it was. The one restroom I visited was cleaner than I anticipated. It had it's normal toilet issues. We used the showers. We couldn't light a wood fire because of the wildfire danger. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. It was the first time camping out for some.
Really nice Corps of Engineers campground. Level pads, but be prepared to back in on a hill for some. The whole loop was covered in oak trees, with lots of nature activity. Deer and other critters seen to wander the campground.
The site I was on was near the boat launch drive, which saw quite a bit of early morning and evening activity. While it didn't bother me, some folks might wish to be on the other side of the loop.
Bathrooms were clean, but showed signs of a long season. Since they will shut down 1 Nov for the year, I'm sure all the maintenance will be taken care of. My one critique is that the shower runs on a button push timer and provided approx 4 seconds of water per push. And you had to push it a number of times to get the barely lukewarm water from the heater to the shower head. I'd gladly bring quarters, or have a timer, but this system is the worst.
Spent 2 nights here while mountain biking in the area.
The campsites are great! Mainly because of the scenery and the wildlife. Had six deer pass within 40 yards of campsite. The shower and bathroom facilities were good for camping. We didn't utilize it - but I think there is a boat launch on site too.
We will be back.
My experience was great. The rangers are easy to interact with. They work with their renters. My boyfriend and I just stayed there this past week, and we met some interesting people while swimming. There was a domestic violence incident with another person staying there, but it was taken care of quickly by the rangers and sherrif. We would definitely stay again.
