The sites and roads are mostly dirt with very little gravel so you have either dust or mud depending on the weather. The sewer hookups were useless after it rained since many of them were under water. The ones that were not flooded would back up if you tried to empty your tanks. It was not a pleasant experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very neat and clean KOA and, although overpriced, a bit better than the typical KOA. In a very quiet rural setting, with good wi-fi, and very level sites. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a beautiful rural campground with very large campsites. The staff members are pleasant, and the park is well-kept. The modem hookups are in the office. We paid the KOA Value Card rate for full hookups, which included tax. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Large state park with two campground areas, one on a wooded island and the second a half-mile or so "inland". Our campsite was on the island and it was delightful. Large sites, heavily wooded, with electric available (water spigots, no sewer, dump at inland site's entrance). Bike and walking paths wind around the island. Rental canoes are available (pre-booking suggested). No formal "swimming area" but you can walk or bike to suitable access points. Camp host available for information or advice. Great kick-back place for an overnight or several days. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice large park with 2 CGs: one is in savanna, with shade but sites open to each other. Very nice newer bathhouses there with individual shower rooms. The other, on Big Island & reached by causeway, is heavily wooded, with very large sites, some relatively private. Older bathhouses but very clean. Campground host on the premises. Nice view of the lake from some sites. Park use fee required in addition to camping fee; total came to $26 for a night for elec-hookup site. With the woods and peaceful atmosphere, the price was well worth it! Some distant road noise from I-35 and a distant train, but not bothersome. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Site are large with lots of room for kids to run around. Nice hiking trails that go from grass prairies to woods to marshes. Lots of birds, especially waterfowl. The trails could use more maintenance. There are several places with benches to overlook the lake, but trees have grown and blocked the view. There is a "Waterfowl Observation Blind" overlooking a march about 100 yards off the main trail that is rotting away and tree growth has blocked the view. Expect lots of bugs if you hike by the marshes. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
