Some folks might freak out realizing they are camping at the bottom of a dam with millions of gallons of water, far above your camping level. I was OK with it, I got to sleep OK. The navigation of the park was weird. The dump and fresh water was at the rear of the campground. If you don't have water you should go there first to fill or dump. If you go to your campsite first, the roads are one way, arranged so you'll have to leave the campground and come back in the entrance to access the water/dump site at the rear of the campground. At the end of your stay, to dump you'll have to exit the campground and enter again to get access to the dump in the rear of the campground. It's a weird arrangement, poorly engineered by COE, IMO. Other than that, the park was clean and quite, very quiet. The access streets to get to the park are a bit long and twist from the interstate. The signage isn't good IMO, needs to be improved coming from both directions, west side and east side entrance routes.

Our stay was wonderful! The camp site was clean & well maintained, check in was easy! The only negative is at the dump station the road angles away from the drain! I had to block the tires to get the camper level to drain! We will be back again!!
