Lake was drained so low it was basically a creek...feel like these details should be on their website. Faucet water at each camp barely had any water dripping, as if they already winterized the pipes, and not having access to the lake water made it quite inconvenient for cleaning dishes. It'd be nice to come back next summer when the lake is full.

We had so much fun staying here. The camp host was so nice and helpful. The campground was very clean and the bathrooms were the cleanest I’ve used in a campground before. We will definitely be coming back.

Campground hosts were great and the campground was in good condition. We had multiple families that were camping in several sites and everyone was very disappointed with the low water conditions. I already canceled my reservation for next month due to the lack of water. It’s a travesty the way the water is managed by the Corps and as a lifelong resident I would love to fire the entire management who oversees it.

Campground was packed so tight and there is zero trees or privacy between campsites. At least 5 rangers/camp hosts/managers walked around with clip boards at one point making it feel like a prison camp. The older lady (in her 60's??) camp host that lives there is extremely unprofessional and rude!! We made friends with the couple across from us who had paid through Sunday. They decided to leave early on Friday and told us we could use their spot since it was paid for 2 more days. So we moved some of our family over there. The camp host came charging to the spot with anger and was yelling at us that we could not stay there with out paying. She came over ready to fight and when we tried to talk, she cut us off yelling. We tried explaining that the couple that we had friended said we could stay there and they already paid. She yelled again saying that they are not our friends and demanded we move out of spot or pay for it. So we paid to make her go away. They received cash for the double payment, makes us think they were going to pocket it themselves. All the other camp hosts where nice and pleasant, but that old lady left a bad taste in our mouth. We will never stay here again.
