The campground area and views are fantastic. The restrooms were all out of toilet paper and the sewer dump was stopped up and dumped s##t all over the ground.

The spot we stayed in did not have water hookup. Had to connect two hoses together to connect to the neighbor's water tower and had to use a Y connector. NONE of the spots have sewer, so don't believe what you might read online. The spots were nice, wide, and level. The park was enjoyable. The bathrooms were private with a shower area. The shower just sprayed straight down, and was unable to adjust it, so that it could spray out from the wall. We stayed in October and the park had a lot of daddy long leg spiders. The park needs to improve the bathrooms and showers. Most likely will not return until the improvements are made.

We really enjoy CR as a campground. The upper loop has newer bathrooms than the lower loop. Some of the camping spots in the lower loop are wider than the upper loop. Our favorite spots are #5 on the lower and #18 on the upper. There is a lot of shade at most every site. During the fall, a lot of the sites are available during the week; weekends get heavier traffic. Cell service is minimal. And the Dollar General is about 10 minutes away!

My favorite campground. It's closer to my home and campsites are always clean. The campground is small, but nicely located and most sites have shade. Fishing can be good at certain times of the year.
