I stayed in Sweetgum Loop. The grounds and bathrooms were immaculate and the hosts were very friendly and responsive. The campground itself is situated amongst trees next the lake with many trails. Overall great experience!

Our group stayed in spots 51 & 53. They had hookups for an RV including two 110V outlets (like you have in your house) which was very convenient for us as there was a burn ban when we went. We were able to bring an elecric griddle to cook our meals because of that. They have several bathrooms located on the campgrounds. The one close to us had showers as well with hot water! They clean them twice a day. Would recommend.

Very quiet park a little out of date . Only 9 out of 40 sites have Electricity and water. The rest have 30amp service. Have several locations to fill your reserves tank. Some locations a 75 ft water will work. But their a lot of space between sits . Nice bathrooms and showers. Small lake lots of shade from short leaf pine trees.
