Fool Hollow is a great campground. It was very quiet and clean. The sites are paved and level. The price per night is kind of high. We would love to go here more often, but with the recent price increase, we will have to limit our visits. The lake was very low. I can only imagine how beautiful the lake would be when full.

We stayed in Mallard campground and tent camped. Excellent restrooms very clean and the park was very quite even being full. The lake was gorgeous to walk around and enjoyed the bird watching. There is a rental business on-site for water craft activities. Thank you Fran, Park Staff, and Volunteers for keeping this park so spectacular. We'll be back again!

Our first time visiting! The person at the information booth said fishing was slow, but on our first cast caught a decent small mouth bass from shore! The shoreline is very rocky with no shade, but above the lake there are nice, sheltered picnic areas. Beautiful pine trees and blue skies, but no bugs to speak of. Just a great place to spend the day!
