PROS: all sites are mostly shaded all day, mostly level sites (17-20 may be a bit unlevel as they are on a hill close to the lake), a single cabin available close to the lake, very friendly host/hostess and staff, restrooms and showers stayed very clean even on a holiday weekend, plenty of spots to fish, around one-third of the sites are water front, the rest are within short walking distance to the dock or other water front fishing spots, small boat launch. CONS: only a single swing for the kids at the campground, no real playground close by, although there is a larger playground a short drive away in the "public" portion of the park, for people wanting to watch satellite TV I suspect it would be tough to get a signal, the roads are a bit bumpy but I see that as a deterrent for speeders so I did not mind even with a pop up trailer, check-in/registration is a bit confusing, you stop at the front gate and they direct you to the campground where you pull into your site and stop at the small office building to check in. Sometimes the internet connection or computer acts up so they may not get you checked in right away or even verify your reservation. I would not suggest this campground for people with large/long trailer RVs (28' or longer), or the longer/larger RVs as the roads are narrow and very tough to pull into many spots. Over all I had to deduct one point for the playground but otherwise this campground is excellent! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Nice but little camp ground. The road into has lots of pot holes and the roads in the campground are dirt. The sites are dirt also. There a few water front sites that are great, the rest just OK. The Restrooms have A/C :) The Rangers were not very friendly at all though the park hoist was very nice! It has a small boat ramp in the camping area, and a nice picnic area down the road with hiking paths. Over all is a nice campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice park. Dirt parking. Not many sites where you can get a roof mounted sat shot out of. But the moss on the trees is just beautiful. If you just want to be lazy and relax, this is the place. Will go back We camped here in a Motorhome.
OH what a nice park... we found it on a map, and drove in on a whim to see if they had any sites open. The nice gate worker said sure for one night, but reservations on the weekend might make us move. We only needed a single Thursday night, so that was fine with us. Great hosts and helpful in selecting a site. VERY quiet park with adequately distanced sites and each had kind of a timber arrangement surrounding the campfire ring, picnic table area to make a deck like atmosphere. Pounded sand sites. Road a bit rough coming in for some folks, but didn't phase us a bit. Trees dripping with Spanish moss, lovely shrubbery and shade trees, and we had a great view of the water and the wildlife and birds. A nice T-shaped fishing dock and fish cleaning station. Canoe rentals and even a small cabin nearby to rent. Located within 10 miles of the interstate, but in a quiet woodsy location with no highway noises or tourist trappings. We felt very lucky to find this place and will return again! We camped here in a Motorhome.
A nice surprise. We were treated really well by the host. He suggested a better riverside site, and made sure we were happy. The state up-graded the electrical system to 50 amps, and put in an all new water system. There are three handicapped sites that have be paved and all the sites have ben improved to handle larger rigs. Nice people, great location! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground is located on a beautiful river and many of the sites are right on the water. That is the good part. The bad part is that the road in the campground is rough, pot holed and travels through a narrow opening of trees. The campsites are sand, uneven and hard to get into. We cancelled our reservations and moved on. We camped here in March of 2003. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Woodalls directory states 20' max length but there were 6 big rigs there. A beautiful spot; we were there in Nov. and did not have or need a reservation. We camped here in a Motorhome.
