Great campsite!! Ghostown out there but in a good way! Would highly recommend. Beautiful views and nice and close to the water. Vault toilets are nice too :)
Note to 5th wheel owners! The Eagle View road(s) are dead end roads without a decent turnaround. Most campgrounds have a loop road, this does not. The campsites were originally created for boat-in only use so the sites themselves don't have very level entries and some are on the hill with only the tent pads and tables being level. If you can't get into a site due to slopes (e.g. you might hit your truck bed with your 5th wheel overhang), you may not be able to turn around without backing up a very long way. There is a nearby campground with hookups next to the boat ramp on this side of the lake.
Campsite and toilets are super clean. Would be a 5 star review but the “quite time” hours and not enforced at all and we had to deal with our neighbors music and screaming till 1AM.
Nice place. The water wasn't as close as I thought it would be and to get to it you have to go through very large stickers, we couldn't bring our dogs to the water because there was no way to get around them and it was hurting their paws. That sucked. There are also stickers at the camp site but not as bad.Other than that it's a nice place, huge area to camp in. It fit our whole family. 1 trailer, 1 tent and 4 vehicles. Bathroom was clean, bring hand sanitizer and toilet paper, someone had made a mess with what was in there.
Lovely location!
Pros:
-mostly quiet, there’s some noise during the day from motorized boats, and if people show up to their sites late in the evening/night, it’s very disruptive because it’s so quiet otherwise
-vault toilet is well maintained and clean (but bring your own hand sanitizer)
-views
Cons
-very sandy
-entire campsite was grassy with a prickly grass that attached to everything, we each got a few splinters and they would stick you through your socks
-when we went, the lake was at 18% so the shoreline was very far from our ‘waterside’ site- We drove, but it would have been really tough if we’d boated and had to carry all the gear a couple hundred yards from the water through mud, sand and prickly brush
Of note:
-fun to watch the little lizards everywhere
-tent plots are concrete so it’s difficult to find a place to get your stakes in
-not a lot of level parking spaces (we have a rooftop tent so this was a challenge)
-it’s about a 15 minute sand/gravel road drive to get to the campground from the closest paved road; you don’t need high clearance but its definitely off-road
-it’s about 15 minutes sand/gravel drive to the North/West Beaches where the swimming area is, the water from this campground is not as pretty or clean looking (we didn’t go in here so we can’t speak to it)
