We love the spacious, well maintained sites with beautiful views that we find at Army Corps campgrounds. This was one of several that we stayed at.

This was my first campground experience with my new to me travel camper. I felt totally safe here by myself with my two little dogs. The campsite was clean and easy to navigate, although some better directional signs for the campsite numbers would be a little more helpful. I stayed for 4 days and the campground was nice and quiet. The view was spectacular in space #44 and even with other campers that had pulled in on the other side of me, it still left me with a great view. I liked that side of the property bc there was an open field behind us which felt more private. You can hear a little bit of traffic from the main road but not so much that it carried inside the camper. Spots are spaced very well. So thankful for the campfire pit/grill bc my stove wouldn't work and I had to make dinner outside the 1st two nights. I also used the camp toilet a few times and they were pretty much like any other campground toilet...not awful but sort of primitive'ish. Lots of toilet paper though! We went down to the water a couple times because it was close enough to do so, but didn't really explore much else. I will def be back and may even try a few of the other spots closer to the water. the dump station was very easy to access as well and that was nice! Absolutely no complaints whatsoever.
