No showers, no water, no pump station and no joy...this res looks like it's being improved with the boom by the spill way and other things going on. Don't be fooled this park is the same dry, hot, no trees place it always has been. Great for day use or for some one with no reservations on a three day weekend...otherwise go to one of the better campgrounds you probably will drive past on your way here...

Very well maintained state park. Friendly staff. Lovely sand beaches with covered picnic tables. Archery range at greenwood cove is awesome. Static targets and 3D range. Nice two lane boat ramp. Trail system throughout park. Very professional and friendly park employees

Very beautiful nighttime views! This is a nice campground. We had some stoned and rowdy neighbors but that is the only negative thing I can say. We saw deer walking through the campground, my kids freaked out. If possible, take a night vision device and you will see more stars than you dreamed possible. Site is remote and it sounds like a pack of coyotes or wild dogs roam close by.

If you’re from Denver, you should watch out for the blonde park security guard and the 20 year old boy with frosted tips. They really hate Denver people (even though we pay their salary) and write tickets to everyone on shore for different offenses while we washed the skip the locals for doing the same things. They said they process them with “education”. In 40 years at state parks I’ve never gotten a ticket and we got 3 in 2 days.i would recommend waiting for the current regime to get lost before exploring this park. We left early to avoid any more malicious prosecution since most of us are public servants.
