Very good time. Quiet, not many there. Shower house was reasonably clean
James Jenkins
April 2025 The location, lake and camp spots are 5 stars. The toilets and outhouses are 2 stars. FCFS, with drop box to pay. Very weak cell signal. Spots are well spaced, and views of the cypress trees in the lake are beautiful. It is quiet with lots of wild life sounds. Mature trees abound. In my mid week visit I was the only camper. The vault toilets are in disrepair, and not recently pumped. The bathroom is rough. No dump station here, but there is one at the east side camp. The dock at the boat ramp at camp is fine, and the boat ramp looks serviceable. There are a number of other docks that are falling apart.

Gorgeous oxbow lake right off the Mississippi River

Beautiful and peaceful but Beware the electricity and/or water are not working at some sites and there is no way to know which amenities are no longer working without test them yourself. Also restrooms and pit toilets were dirty and lacking toilet paper, soap, etc
