Our favorite campground of all. It is peaceful, relaxing and great waterfront sites. The campground host, Mike Shupbach, made it even better with his help and friendliness. A truly great camping experience. This was our fourth or fifth time there and already have a reservation to come back.

Hosts Dave & Deb were excellent. Andrew should NOT be hosting. Very unfriendly and rude at times. Even saw him being rude with a fisherman in front of his young son. Please do not let him come back here!

Another great stay. The staff was friendly and courteous. The west side rest rooms were clean and new shower curtains installed during our stay. The hurricane damaged roof was replaced with metal roof and overall the grounds looked great. The boat ramp was clear of growth and had a lot of business. Can't go wrong with this location !!!

Beautiful camping.

The canal side of the island is MUCH windier than the cove side. I recommend tents on the cove side... Or just buckle down well.

Great place to fish and watch boats traveling through the locks.
Excellent volunteers, very helpful.

I liked the campground because it was surrounded by water, most sites are waterfront. The bathrooms were clean with a fantastic hand dryer. Some of the negatives were the lot wasn't clean, a lot of cigarette butts in firepit and a used plastic oil container was thrown on the side of the lot by electrical outlet. I understand the hurricane tore the bathroom roof off but they were scattered in the back of the lot. P.S. groundkeepers should be equipped with battery powered trimmer, blowers rathers than smelling exhaust.

This is our second time visiting this park. We absolutely love it and plan on returning. The camp hosts (Rush & Lola) are super friendly and very helpful.

Very nice campground for RVs. Sites are right on the water on what is basically an island. Beautifully kept with interesting views of the dam and locks, plus a variety of wildlife. Not so good for tents with only concrete pads.
@ThomasS126 · Camped on Oct 12, 2021 at Campsite #8
A very quiet scenic site

Clean, pristine sites and facilities. We go there to relax and have been for over 12 years. The hosts are great folks also.
