Reviews

Millwood Lake campgrounds are well-regarded for their clean, well-maintained facilities, friendly and helpful hosts, and peaceful, scenic environment with beautiful lake views. Visitors enjoy spacious, shaded campsites suitable for RVs, good fishing and wildlife observation opportunities, including the unique experience of alligator sightings. Some challenges include occasional insect issues like mosquitoes and wasps, inconsistencies in bathroom cleanliness, nearby road and logging truck noise, limited cell service in certain areas, and reservation policies requiring multi-day bookings. Swimming is generally not recommended due to alligator presence.

Nice park with great camp hosts (best we have had). Park could use some gravel in sites but ok. Generally quiet but for trucks on bridge. Would like to have speed bumps removed (rearranges every thing in trailer) and cross bars installed for safety and stoppage of people accessing park not camped there. Worst thing is dump site across road in middle of two curves on Hwy 32. VERY dangerous due to speed of traffic.

Great park with helpful and friendly hosts! Quiet and peaceful the whole stay! There is a restaurant right across the dam called "The Fish Bowl". We'll definitely be back!

The The Corp of Engineers has allowed the underbrush and grasses in the water to obstruct the view of the river from nearly every campsite. The stalky grass in the water has removed our ability to park our boat along the shore. Camped there for 40 years, never seen it in this state of lack of maintenance!
