This campground features most sites right on the water. They are well kept, many are nicely shaded, and most have a fine gravel on them. Several are concrete. There are pictures of the sites online and you can see which ones are gravel and which are concrete.

There is a nice swim area, a place to put your boat in the water, and a playground for kids.

They also have a day area where you can pay a small fee and picnic, swim, put your boat in, etc., if you just want to visit for the day.

You can walk over to Sunset Marina, about a 5 minute walk from the front gate where you will find a complete general store and a nice restaurant. There are plenty of boat slips for rent as well.

Just 5 minutes away there is a Dairy Queen, a Dollar Store, a well stocked hardware store, and and a delicious ice cream/icee place on the side of the road! Just 10 minutes away there is a wonderful all you can eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffet.

Cons-- there are always needs for improvement anywhere, lol, and this campground needs to improve it's bathroom at the end near sites 105-120. I did not visit the other bathrooms.

The bathroom needs a little work in the shower area. Two of the shower faucets need to be replaced with better shower heads. The worst part of the shower experience -- there needs to be something attached to the walls that could hold your shampoo, soap, etc. There is nothing, absolutely nothing and you are just trying to get through the whole ordeal. The first shower head works well and the water comes out very strong. The other two, well, I wish they worked as well. Not a lot of expense needed to greatly improve a very important part of your stay.

The water in the pictures is from an early October visit. You can see that the water is lowered in the fall by 20 feet or more. There is still plenty of great fishing though, and the water was still nice enough for swimming.
