Large campsites! Great looking lake but could only see it when we drove out of the campground. Grass was way too long.

Several issues at this location which we chose to use as other Corp of Engineer campsites nearby were be renovated in 2023. Based on our past experience with the other Corp campsites nearby we had I expectations and was very disappointed. Grass was not cut, dead limbs were hanging from trees, electrical box was poorly placed such that we had to run it under the camper to the other side, shower/bathroom stall with no locks and standing water in the showers. not controllable by the campsite, per say, there is a road on top of the dam with parking areas which seemed to be frequented late at night with individuals talking loud with loud music,

Great facility - clean and well kept up. Electric only with water available to fill your tank. Asphalt roads with gravel sites surrounded by grass. Volunteer greeting at the gate was enthusiastic and friendly. Visitor Center was very informative. Lots of well marked trails (mostly asphalt bike / running paths) and birds in the area.
Good cell phone service and a hand full of Over The Air TV stations. Sites are level. Not a lot of shade. Toilet / showers are a bit dated but very clean. Campsites are at the base of the dam, so there are no views of the lake.

Biking the Neil Smith trail was awesome! Staff keeps everything clean and tidy. Love the spacious lots. Hope some day 50 Amp service is provided.
