We love the ACOE campgrounds! They are all well maintained, clean, spacious, beautiful, with good separation between sites. Furthermore, they are incredibly affordable, especially with the Federal Senior Lifetime Pass. My only negative comment re. Shaefer was the restroom facility could use a new coat of paint and a replacement mirror.

Hosts are great people and very helpful. Maintenance had not cut grass. It was knee high. Cut it myself.

I had a beautiful lakeside site with direct access to the water. They were working on the boat launch so the water level was extremely low. I did not need to use the bathroom or bathhouse, but they are in need of renovation. The staff at the gatehouse was extremely friendly and outgoing. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that at 7:20 am the tree maintenance contractor started cutting down a tree right next to my site using chainsaws. It was extremely loud and extremely inconsiderate due to the early start. I don't know that the campground has any control over this. It took about 45 minutes to clear the tree and debris (using heavy equipment and loud blowers). When I spoke with the gatehouse they were not aware this was happening.

The campsite was great, my wife wants to come back. It had great sunsets. The view of the eagles nest was awesome as well. The lake was quiet. Make a trip to the Visitors center.

Fabulous park. Sites are well kept. Loops have plenty of bathrooms but few bathhouses. Be careful at the dump station, campers will come in from the wrong direction creating a problem for exiting campers.

The park is fabulous. We had a great spot. It could use a lot of updating in the restrooms and bathhouses. Lots of rust. But the contractors keep them clean. The host at the check-in booth must’ve been new, a little militant Q&A to get our site card. We will return.
However, this trip was marred by bathhouse issues. The water heater was “repaired” on Monday. We still had no hot water Tuesday and Wednesday. We were told multiple times it just needed to run awhile. Well that didn’t work. So with only 2 bathhouses for the entire park, and one of those out of commission, it was very inconvenient. No urgency or concern.

Arrived around 11:30. George greeted me at the window with a smile, joked with him for a minute as he was checking me in. Went to my campsite and set up and had a great 3 days of fun and relaxation. Will be back again.

It was a great 5 days! Everyone was so nice and the gate keepers were very helpful with questions I called and they actually answered the phone! Will definitely go back!

Quiet, clean & large sites, even those on the water. We had site 44 which was a bit warm (hot sun) late in the day (after 4:00p) but you couldn't ask for a better view. Late summer (July/August) would be better for this site since the sun would be further north. Loved this CG.

Everything was great. Very nice management.

One of the best campsites I have ever had and at a price that was an outstanding value. Campground layout and site construction allows for privacy from other campers and an intimate connection with nature. Level site with excellent hookups showcases the skills of the Corps of Engineers. Definitely a place I will visit again.

Beautiful and well maintained campground. Bathrooms were clean. View was spectacular! Can't wait to go back.

This is a very nice campground with large sites right on the water, excellent.

Probably the most relaxing and beautiful place we have had the pleasure of dropping anchor. Definitely in my top 10 and will go out of my way to stay here again. Site 44 was perfect!!!
