We stayed at Site#27 in a 5th wheel for 10 days while visiting friends in Wylie. This was our 2nd stay at this park. The park is small and nicely laid out and our site was fairly level but still needed risers on drivers side. Sites are comfortably spaced and most had some shade with a nice view of lake. Walmart is close by for last minute purchases. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Park is in need of better maintenance. Grass needs to be cut, trees need to be trimmed, dead wood needs to be hauled away. On our visit site 9 was not suitable for our 31 ft motorhome. The grade exceeded any capability to level the vehicle properly. When we asked to be relocated we were told that all the sites in the park were booked, or not available due to the need to remove dead limbs. Very questionable. At least ten sites were not occupied in the three days we were there. All of these problems can be fixed, but need to be addressed. At one time this park was one of the better maintained facilities, although standing water and drainage have always been a problem. Wylie is growing and about to totally enclose this park. There is a lot of new road construction which will bring more traffic and traffic noise. There is a rail unloading facility immediately south of the park which works 24 hours, and is loud enough to interrupt sleep. A number of the sites appear to be "full-time" in spite of the known restrictions of the Corps of Engineers. Some of the "full-time" occupants are not good site keepers! I am taking the time to write this in the hope that something will be done to correct the situation. This has been a great park and very convenient to visit this part of the Metroplex. Unfortunately, we will be trying state parks southwest of the Metroplex in the future, and hope to be able to monitor this one to see if any action is taken to revive this property. Regards.

We had site 17. The site pad was broken and uneven gravel surrounded by weeds. We were unable to get our 25ft RV level. The shelter over the picnic table was infested with wasps. This campground was the worst COE campground I have ever experienced. It looks like the place hasn't received any maintenance since it opened.
