Customer Reviews

★★★★☆ 4.0 Rave Meyer · Jul 2025

Army Corps of Engineers campground. New asphalt roads, drives, campsites are gravel or cement. Some have full hook-ups. Very quiet. Pleasant.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Dave Manegre · Jun 2025

Nice campground IF you don't want something to do. Boring for kids, no playground other than 4 swings which if you use puts black on your legs, no real paths And the ones they do have used real Big Rock. So you better have a off-road bike. Not really electric bike compatible , no lake access other than a small path to no where. Only one bath house. Lots of loose rock on roads so we had 3 accidents on bikes for kids. New concrete sites which are nice. Won't be back. Then they added these car stoppers on the sites which turn into a trip hazard. Whoever designed these does not camp as many of the sites are not level. Try other camp grounds, indian creek was nice

★★★★★ 5.0 Crazy Days · Jul 2024

The camp sites have been completely remodeled. Full hookups 30, 50 and 15amp power. Water pressure was great. Site were very long and all concrete - some were double wide. We loved it here.

★★★★★ 5.0 Leslie · Jun 2025

A great, nice & clean place. Super quiet and you can hear nature while you sleep as if it's a recording. We stayed in the hook up with water and it had a built in fireplace & grill top. The bathrooms & showers are old, but well kept and the water pressure is great. My only complaint is that there isn't cold water for the showers. You're either taking a hot shower or a shower so hot it could poach an egg lol

★★★★★ 5.0 Dan Ragland · Oct 2025

One of our all-time favorite campgrounds. Full hookups, concrete pads, and large campsites. We will go back for sure.
