I visit to see the Migrating Birds. American White Pelicans Bald Eagles Cormorants River Gulls The middle of February is when the Pelicans come thru. They are actually larger than the Bald Eagles. Both are thrilling to see!

This campground is very nice and clean. Some sites are blacktop but all have long drives, mostly level sites and not close to others.

Love Dam West. Want to thank the Corp maintenance, they saved the day for us. We unfortunately forgot to roll our awning in when leaving last Thursday. They helped us take it off our camper. Saved the day. Thanks so much. Always calm, relaxing and beautiful there. 😉😎

Clean campground, clean shower houses and air conditioned restrooms, stayed here with my husband and two children Sunday-Friday. We enjoyed the nearby bike trails that lead to the beach. The camp hosts were always very helpful. Laundry room at campground. Basketball court. We loved our stay at this campground. Close to wal mart in case you forget something at home. We will definitely be coming back.
