We arrived late and were only staying one night, so did not get to experience much. Took a walk in the morning down to the lake and it was nice

Had a pullthru one night as a stop over .camp ground almost empty on a wensday nite. Clean and quite on and off interstate quickly. Use the every 2months Memphis to Chicago run. Just dont like weekend policy of 2 nights minimum. But at the he price its great.

Nice level spot with trees for shade. Beautiful sunsets. They had a dumpster as well as water. Some sites had full hookups. Loved that the others had electricity. Bathrooms/showers need to be cleaned! There was no water access from the campground.

This is a low laying spot. When it rained, there was a steady stream that flowed under the camper. There was mud that had settled on the pavement of the campsite that you are forced to drive though. Further, it's adjacent to the shower house and we did catch the occasional wiff of not-so-pleasant odors. Also, there is a gumball tree in this site. For our stay, (late Sept) there was the constant "thud" of gumballs hitting the roof. The curve of the pull through is a bit much for long rigs. We had a 30ft 5th wheel and it was nearly impossible to get the steps on the pavement. They have put a bunch of road pack (which stayed soggy our entire stay) in the apex of the turn. If this site is all that there is, it'll work but there are much better sites.

Nice campsite- level with good power. Some of the sites are not level at all. So beware

Nice park. Well managed during the eclipse. Would have liked it better if there were hiking trails close by.

Rend Lake and its blue leg is great! Though, the recently felled large tree next to this campsite (051) is now causing issues. We believe that tree served as a wind-block for the bathroom and dumpster smells right up the hill, as it was noticeable at times. Otherwise, this space has pull-through parking and enough space for a large group. We will be back but will probably avoid this particular site in the future.

Nice clean campground on beautiful lake. Extended my stay. Only complaints were the restrooms. No soap and hand dryers didn't work. Showered in them but was a little questionable-shower shoes a must. Couldn't figure out how to get hose to work at dump station, but I'm a newb. Site not exactly level but close enough. Tmobile strength good enough to stream. Would stay again.

Although the site was described as a pull through for up to a 40ft rig, it was very tight for my 37ft class A. The turn around at the end of the loop required holding the steering wheel to the lock all the way around. Location was super -

It was wonderful! Except for the fact that they need to check their sidewalks! I tripped and fell and cracked a rib.

It was very easy to make a reservation via the website. I had a pull-thru site and this was helpful for me. I arrived in the afternoon while the office was open and the person there was very helpful.

Very clean and quiet. If you have reservations you still have to see host they close at 6:00 host said ranger will give you a ticket if you dont check in even if you have receipt on phone, you would think the host could have card on post before you get there.
