Better Sleep at a Truck Stop than This Campground I stayed in the tent area here, hoping for a quiet night. Instead, at 1:30 a.m. a diesel truck pulled into the site next to mine, left the engine running, and the driver went to sleep in the cab. The engine noise and exhaust fumes carried directly into my tent. After an hour of this, I asked the campground host for help enforcing noise policy. I was told, “I will let my husband know,” but no action was taken. The truck ran all night long. Between the noise and the exhaust, sleep was impossible. The most disappointing part wasn’t just the truck, it was the lack of any response from staff. Rules meant to protect campers’ experience were ignored, leaving guests to deal with the problem on their own. If you’re looking for rest and a reliable camping environment, this isn’t the place. You’ll get a quieter, healthier night’s sleep at McLean State Park—or even at a roadside truck stop.

Nice little campsite. Not very big. Lake beach area had no concessions or kayak rentals open. Bathrooms had showers that were good. Offers washer/dryer for $1 and $1.50 a load. Site 58 was long and had some trees but starlink worked. Some sites have no trees. Only 2 sites on the water. Good place for a few nights.

Wonderful campground at an unbeatable rate! Friendly staff, clean showers and restrooms, and overall a great and respectful campground! Me and my dog love coming here! Tent sites are peaceful and semi-secluded - I believe all sites are less than a 5 minute walk to the water!

Site 34 was clean and level with nice picnic table and fire pit. 30 amp hookups with regular plugs too so we were able to charge our e-bikes, big plus! No privacy but did have a nice little trail to the bathrooms and beach. Bathrooms were clean and even had a separate section for handicap showers. Laundry room, playground, dump station, boat parking and more. This is not a quiet camp, very group and toy friendly.

I really enjoyed the visit and recommend it! Some things to remember, and some reviews may have these items: Sites are gravel and not level. Rain makes them muddy, and gravelly. Maybe they haul stuff in through the off season. I used spot 27, a pull through, yet I recommend even pulling a trailer, some of the sites are more level than this one. And they are wide and deep, so not that close to other campers. (Hint: on 27, stay downhill left side for up to 70 feet) I drive a 36 footer, pulling a trailer, and the narrow little roads were more than adequate, and paved. No trees over me were even close! Great water station and dump area.
