R. Shaefer Heard Park

This campground has nice size spaces and terrific views of the Lake. The staff were polite, professional, and friendly. I saw several deer and some neat birds. The only down side was the trails. They were fairly over over grown, but there are plenty of roads along the Lake for walks.

We made these reservations and we visited the park a month before our scheduled visit to scope out the place. On that visit the lake was completely full however a month later on our scheduled stay the lake was way way way down. It would have been nice to have been notified that the lake was being drained prior to our check in dates. With the lake being so low it left us with nothing to do so our 3 night stay turned into 1 night and we left the next day.

Pretty spot. Looked up was named after president of the Lions club in the 30’s who advocated for the dam. After a bad flood in 1961 it was approved. Great sunset, there during lunar eclipse. Walked whole park. No trails to speak of |Get site with a deck! We were near that. Shower ok, brrr cold. Amenities great as picnic table grill and electric and water on rv spot. |Nice place

The portley old fellow in the guard shack wouldnt allow my "Side by side" in the park. Aka a 2006 Club Cart dx GOLF CART (stock tires , 6in lift, 22in tires).... gave up & drove 30min to take it back home afterwards , read the fine print later that night(i was still mad)... aaaaand my cart passed ALL the requirements and then some.(max 8in lift & 23in tires) . If it wasn't my daugthers first time camping I would be asking for a damn refund . Doesn't take much to ruin the experience. What kind of grown man cant tell the difference between a SXS and a Golf Cart .... Would be FUNNY if it didn't happen to me!!!

Camped there in our RV. $18 per night with our American the Beautiful Senior pass. Water and electric hookup. Lake side site.
