one of the best parks on the east coast. Tons to do from camping, fishing, hiking to boating and RVing. Not far from APEX and nice down town areas but far enough that it feels like you are "Away from everything"

We enjoyed our stay but the bathroom was really bad. With only one bath house (4 shower stalls and 4 toilet stalls) and one restroom (3 toilet stalls) for the entire campground, both of which are on the main road, it was really inconvenient and far away from almost everyone except a few lucky spots. Not only that, they were outdated and dirty. They had push handles on both sinks and shower. And the water didn't get hot until the 17th push. Not to mention the half doors on the showers that gave you that "showering is a team sport" vibe of 1980s gym classes. Everything else about the campground is fine, we really enjoyed the campers only beach, the camping spots weren't too close together and were well maintained, and of course the lake is beautiful.

Great campground right on Jordan Lake. Several sites with lake views and lake access. Loop B sites 79,80,81 are all just amazing. Weird that the restrooms are only open on the weekend but we made due. Very wooded. Big rig friendly. Pay attention some sites don't have electricity. Great dump stations, easy to access. Saw a bald eagle just 20 feet above a camper..amazing

Huge place, but sites are all very well spaced and private. So many right on the water. Well maintained place throughout. Dump station is available with four spots. Good pressure rinse water with hose connections. Working in mid November, not sure if they get shut off for winter. Potable water fills throughout the grounds. Price is very reasonable. Military discount too. Reservations are impossible short notice, but FCFS is massive and honestly, maybe nicer sites. Very nice, helpful, and professional staff. Especially Amanda at the gate who could be the highlight of the whole place. Can’t wait to come back!

Wasn’t sure what to expect, but we were more than pleasantly surprised by the size of our campsite. We stayed just one Friday night, but it was long enough for us to enjoy speaking with people from all over the Country. Heated bathrooms were nicer than some restaurants I’ve been in as well. If you dig camping, go check it out and I strongly recommend making a reservation before heading out.

Great Campground. It's not a fancy one but the sites are mostly spaced far apart. Large first come first served loop. No sewer hook ups but there is a 4 space dump station

Great little campground. I stayed on Loop J, which was very clean and had a great view of the water. Bathrooms were surprisingly clean at all times. It could definitely use more space or trees in between sites though. We could hear every conversation near us. Easily solved with some music and a crackling fire!

Our first time camping at Lake Jordan and we had a great time on the water. The sites are very nice and a great size. BIG Problem with the bathhouse though! There is absolutely no air circulation in that place. The shower stalls are extremely too small. And the water is temp is too too hot! Would be better if I could adjust that myself especially for the kids Plus no soap dispensers at the sinks. I was more sweaty and uncomfortable than I was before my shower. NOT GOOD! Putting some large exhaust fans in the rafters would be a great first start.

#C31. This was a nice site flat no step down. View of the water was pretty good from site. We had a bad thunderstorm come in & flooded the site. Running like a river thru the fire pit. Bath house was clean & well updated. Shower stalls with hard doors & dry area divided with shower curtain. motion detected water in shower worked well too.
