The lake and its surrounding forests provide a great locale for hiking, hunting or simply observing wildlife.

The campground offers 91 sites with electric and water and 10 primitive sites with electric and group water.

We stayed in site 007 in a 35 ft 5th wheel trailer. There was a slight descent to the mostly level concrete pad where our camper fit perfectly. There was a large open area and access to the river from our site. It was very quiet. The camp is very clean. Bring provisions and gas-up. It's a half an hour to the grocery and gas stations.

We’ve loved this park for years. Great place for bike riding, boating and fishing. Nearby towns of Georgetown, Abbeville and Eufaula provide shopping and eating options. Several parks are nearby and are worth the trip such as Kolomoki State Park, Providence Canyon State Park, and Lakepoint State Park which has a good restaurant.

We arrived a few days after Hurricane Isasai made landfall, which spawned tornadoes. There were a lot of downed trees and storm debris, but grounds crews were there after a few days to start cleaning everything up (it’s going to take a while to complete the task) Site 60 was perfect!!! Large gravel area, level parking area, and a beautiful view of the lake. Deer are quite abundant here. The closest Walmart is 30 minutes away in Eufaula. We didn’t go out to eat this trip, but on our last trip we went to Michelle’s in Georgetown. They have a great buffet! Next trip we want to go on Friday or Saturday for the seafood buffet. The camp host was so very sweet and kind. Our water heater went out and we couldn’t find the needed parts in town, so we ordered them from Amazon. The host, Michelle, called us when it was delivered. Bathhouse in our loop (Marina View) was very clean. Great place to ride bikes and enjoy the lake. LOVE this campground!!!
