I camped at this location for several days in the North Loop and overall had a good experience. The campsites in both North and South loops are spread out so you generally aren't on top of another camper. The campsites are level and squared off with rail ties; I think this helped keep water away during the rains we had during my stay. The area is quiet at night, except for occasional sounds from the local critters (which actually is a bonus!).
The closest showers to the North Loop are at the beach house. Unfortunately, both times I used the showers, the drain area was clotted with crud -- hair, paper, etc. I realize this is at least partly the responsibility of slovenly users who left their mess behind, but it also may indicate maintenance needs to be a bit more frequent. The shower area itself is nice and the water gets hot quickly. The nearest toilets in the campground were fine, though 1 of the 3 is out of commission. Another could use a hook on the inside of the door.
My site had water, though I never understood how the inflatable hose on the ground behind and down the hill from the campsite was supposed to be used. Since accessing the water from the site seemed to require going to the nearest spigot to connect the hose and start the water, it would be just as easy/far to go directly to the spigot for water and forget the hose entirely.
I recommend this location as a place to camp when in the area.

Weeks before arriving I called to find out if I could reserve the same campsite for an extra day when I get there, because it was showing up on this website as First come First serve. I was told we could pay cash upon arrival since we would be staying there the 5 days prior to the extra day we would be the first arriving so it would be fine. Upon arrival, we were told, no, it doesn't work that way. That the site needed to be reserved on recreation.gov but talk to the host. The host was not real friendly. Talked down on us, like we were a bother. Said that it was reserved for that night. I said how can that be if it's first come first serve. Then he went and got a paper to "prove it". The bathrooms were not sanitized or cleaned. They took out the garbage and kept the toilet paper filled. The showers by the lake where we had to shower, went to total darkness while we were there showering, and couldn't see our way back to the car. I requested a refund from Wed through Fri. with the camp director, and she said she would put in a request, because a tropical storm with 60 MPH winds was coming. We only knew this because we went into town. The camp host didn't even notify us and we were staying in a TENT with 3 children. When I called to get a refund through recreation.gov, they said I had to wait until the end of our scheduled reservation, which is ridiculous, because someone could have reserved the spot after the storm during the remaining days instead of just modifying the reservation and opening up the spot.
