Whom ever the manager guy is that runs around in the white truck needs to find a new day job, drove by our camp 4 different times doing the slow roll past our camp making sure we were following the rules and proceed to read us our rights. Mind you we were the only campers most of our stay so glad we could keep him entertained. Will not be staying at a corps of engineers camp ground ever again instead we will be staying off grid on our next trip. To be sure none of those dudes our looking over every move we make, nobody likes to be watched and follow a rule book the size of a small bible not only that corps seems to make rules on the fly just because you there feelings seem hurt. It’s America folks and being there felt as if I moved to Canada for a week

Not the campgrounds fault but way too far off the beaten path. With gas prices these days I would not have chosen this campground. Sad to see the water level so low. Closest town was 16miles away. Site required a couple of leveling blocks. It was a quiet fairly empty campground.

Nice quiet park. Plenty of walking/hiking options. No showers and no dumping station. Stays would probably improve if you had these options.
