We love this campground. It is shaded with beautiful views of the lake. It's electric only but dump and fill stations are very convenient.

I'm not normally a Google Review person, but I feel humbled about how beautiful this experience could've been when we arrived. Such a pretty site, but the mosquito population not being fogged prior to a huge lake population arrived for Labor Day Weekend. That's a problem. We had to travel into Centerville to obtain Skeeter Beater for $15 from Tractor Supply...just to have a decent day with our family. But, that wasn't the worst part. Our kids' paid for a lot that did not indicate that they couldn't pull through. They had already leveled out & set up, & the patience of the individual was not completely nice. She told them, "YOU better back in!" Not coming back to this area ever again. Leaving it in a cloud of mosquitos' they left for us.

We camped in mid-September when park was less than 25% full. HUGE sites, most were double-wide so you could fit boat or extra vehicle easily. Electric only at site, so you need to stop at dump station to fill with water. (A few spigots located throughout park too.) Campground is a couple of miles from highway entrance but such a beautiful drive. Acres of open space throughout.

Clean, well maintained sites. Many of the sites had EXCEPTIONAL views of the Lake Rathbun. Friendly helpful staff. There are so many Wonderful Army Corp of Engineers campgrounds in this state.

Nice roomy spaces. Most sites have some view of the lake. Bathroom/shower house could use a update but still nice. Rock pads, fire pit and table at each site. They have both 30 and 50 amp sites. One of our favorite places to camp.
