Not what it used to be. Only about half the bathrooms are open, the others are boarded shut. They don’t tell you at checkin that your nearest bathroom is closed. The ones that are open are not well maintained and doesn’t seem to have been painted since I was a kid (25+ years ago).
For $50 a night, the campsite (and most of the roads in the campground) was covered in leaves and couldn’t see the driveway. They could have at least come out with a blower once a week and blow off the leaves.
The camp store doesn’t have some necessities, like fire starter logs. It took several years for an old torn down playground to get picked up, and some of the play and picnic areas haven’t been maintained in many many years.
The staff were nice this stay but we’ve had bad experiences with rude staff several times in recent years.
I’m disappointed the last few times I’ve come. My favorite campsite is here, but there’s not much outside of this campsite to make me want to return. Too expensive to see it continually go downhill. I grew up in tents at this site and they don’t even allow tents any longer, keeping my family from joining us when we come out.
Also, half the time the reservation site shows the park to be nearly fully booked. We are here on a perfect prime weekend, and it’s not even half full.
Wonderful escape to relax and unplug. The cabin was clean and beautiful! No cell reception for T-Mobile, but AT&T had no issues. Frisbee gulf and the playground was good for those that needed to be entertained
1st time camping, went with my son his fiance and there friends. Had cabin 12, there were in 13.
Even though water in lake was low, it was still a nice place, fished in pond and caught a few perch, raining most of the weekend, but had time to let kids play and run around , they had a blast, ready to return when lake has water. Cabins was spaced pretty good, bait shop could be stocked a little more with main groceries, they were out of bread. Playground was nice for the little ones, and the book box was a nice touch. All in all cabin was clean, but pots and cooking utensils were kinda below average, but next time I know to bring my own. Since I'm a cook in restaurant, I like to do alot of cooking and cook a lot, pots were small. But just will bringy own. Peacefully and relaxing, can't wait to go back. Wanna go in summer time that way grand kids can swim and I can take them riding in canoes and let the m fish a little. Hated to leave .

The lady at the front office was very friendly.
We booked a RV site next to the water. When we arrived there was no water. The lake had dried up in that area. That was the whole point, so we could fish from the RV site.
Then we go to the “bait shop”, no bait. No worms, minnows or crickets. The lady said the closet place would be Columbia or Hattiesburg. Very inconvenient to drive 30 minutes for bait.
Now it’s after 10pm and someone has been playing loud music for hours.
All the RV sites are nice though but, I doubt will be back.
I can’t wait to get home!
Charged us for an "event weekend" Additional per night and a 3 night minimum. There were 3 vendors and no events. Would not credit us back or give credit for next time. The camp store was always so nice now its empty and does not open the same time every day.
Its a shame it has always been such a great place. Now I know why there were so many empty lots. We will not be back.
