if i could give it a zero i would me and my bf drove 45 mins to check out the campground area and plan a weekend camping that was a wednesday The whole time we were down there, we never saw the man who calls himself Dan who is apparently the campground manager So we saw an honor box and figured since there was no office that that’s where you would just put your money So around 4:30 that weekend We got down there started setting up our camp and plan to go to Shelbyville Walmart to get some ice and stuff and we were going to get money off to put into the honor box but about an hour and a half later right after we had almost the full 10 minutes this man and Dan came screaming out of nowhere extremely hostile and aggressive with my boyfriend clearly all dan does is sit n his rv and when he has a chance to make some money he will be out . its weird how certain camp spots can be reserved online but the other dan said cash only u gotta give it to me right now was super rude dont know how the lake stays open and running i would definitely be trying to get ahold of someone else in that city bc hes a terrible Representation of a city employee and all the cash that he’s taking from people is probably putting in his pocket

After taking the advice from a friend to go camping for 1-2 nights after losing my heart dog suddenly I did a quick google search and found this place. I had a waterfront primitive spot that was spacious but still just a quick walk to the showers/bathroom. I am looking forward to spring/summer and camping here again. It brought me some peace I needed during a difficult time.

This is a great place for Bird Watching of several different environments with water, of course, as the main attraction.

Shower house need a lot of TLC. And some plumbing fixes in the shower/ bath house. It's a nice quiet place to stay. Close to everything but away from traffic noises. Would definitely stay here again. Stayed here in our class A motorhome.

We've been coming here for the past five years and it just keeps getting better. The grounds are well kept. The bath house is kept clean at all times. The guys enjoy fishing both from several new piers or taking the boat out. The kids love the paddle boats and enjoy riding their bikes in a safe area. All in all, the host and manager are doing a great job and we look forward to returning.
