Had a great time, other than the site's we reserved weren't great for younger children. Otherwise, had a blast. Older facilities but they were clean and in good working order.
Very nice campground, all sites are asphalt and mostly level, clean bathrooms and spacious camp spots, nice bike trails, clean beach, easy hiking trails and huge lake for all your water needs.
The campground at Patoka is super clean, spaced out and has a lot to offer people from young to old.
We live nearby and come here to bike ride on the paved trails as well as fish from our kayak. The lake is super clean.
Excellent place to camp. Loads of trails, bike paths, nice camp store. Clean park, restrooms, and fire pits. Roads are in good shape. Lake is fantastic. Picnic tables are in good shape also.
