There are 10 Corps of Engineers parks, one state park, and three additional parks managed by Hill County or private individuals. Equestrian riders have a great place to explore rolling hills and woods in the McCown Valley Equestrian Area. Hopewell Trail, a 12.5 mile equestrian riding and multi-use trail that winds along the lake and through wildlife areas was opened in 2002. Trail riders can access the trail and stay overnight at the equestrian camping area at Plowman Creek Park.

We booked 1 thru 6 and had all of the friends with us plus 5 boats. Great place to leave boat out over night and the boat ramp was very close. We love this place very quiet not alot of people in and out. The only thing is there are stickers!

Campground was beautiful - abundance of shade trees, water was surprisingly quite i.e. no speed boats, or jet skis! Peaceful and serene. Site was clean, don't use the bathrooms or showers so can't comment. Hosts were very accommodating! Cell service was spotty but it was a getaway few days so no problem!

Popularity: Very quiet

Busiest in August, when about 11% of guest capacity is reserved. Based on 11 years of reservations.
