This was our first visit. We followed Google Maps and found our site without any problems. The check-in attendants were nice. We were informed that there was a burn ban. This was pretty upsetting to find out during check-in because we did not propane setup for cooking. The burnban was not posted anywhere on the website during reservation, no advanced warning at all. With that being said we had to travel to Paris, TX to buy a propane setup so we could eat over our long weekend there. The campsites were not well maintained. The grass was tall and the site was covered in trash. This site sits beside the boot ramp which was always busy. There is no adequate parking for the trucks and trailers which made parking near our site difficult. The swim area (had to leave the campsite and drive around the cove) was nice and decently clean. While we were at our campsite or at the swimming area people were using charcoal grills to cook. The park ranger drove up numerous times and never said anything. Overall it was a descent trip but I wish the "rules" applied to everyone and we could have saved $100 by not buying a propane cooking setup. But Hey, rules are rules. If we stay here agin we will stay in a more secluded spot and come prepared to clean our area before we setup camp. Oh, and bring the propane cooking setup for backup just incase.

My low rating is for the specific site that I reserved, A1. In the description of the campsite, the campground map, and the one single picture, there was nothing that indicated the campsite was next to the dock and boat ramp. Worse, was the fact that the parking lot to the boat ramp was directly adjacent and overlooking our entire campsite so when vehicles parked they were right next to us and put us in a very dangerous position with our site directly at the bottom of a small decent. There was no where except the parking lot for our vehicle, which made it difficult since I use a rooftop tent. The registration site did not say anything about it being a walk-in site. I assume the dock and boat launch were built after this site was established; this specific campsite should be removed as it is directly below the parking lot which is dangerous, but also very annoying as many of the late boaters return to their vehicles have absolutely no regard for the noise they create or the light pollution from their vehicles. There are only three primitive/non-electric campsites at this specific A location, and I wouldnt return to camp at any of them even though they were right next to the water. Aside from that, we enjoyed the waterfront and the wooded area. The toilets are vault toilets and while I dont expect much from vault toilets these were strangely the second nastiest toilets Ive seen this year (Palo Duro portajons being 1st place by a few thousand black flies) Ill blame the fishing competition they had the day I arrived as possibly being the reason the toilets were so gross. This seems like a great spot for boaters and fisherman, but that pretty much ruins the camping experience for anyone just hoping to enjoy nature and not hear boats blaring 90s pop and/or country from their boat speakers.
