Very nice campground. We had a good spot above the lake with a nice view. We were there in the spring, so the restrooms weren't open yet. We took many walks and attempted to fish but didn't have much luck. They have some pier/docks but there are signs not to fish off of them. So you have to go to the other side of the campground to find a place to fish. It would be nice to have some walking piers to fish from.

A really nice quiet part of Table Rock lake, to kick back and relax. They have lots of open bank to set up chairs and pavilions. Bring your floats, snacks and be ready for a day of fun.

1st camping trip in our travel trailer. Easy to get to, easy check-in process, easy to back in with your rig provided others follow the rules and park in their proper designated spots. Hubby is used to hauling heavy equipment in tight spots, but inexperienced may have a difficult time. Campground is nice and maintained, clean, and relatively quiet. Price is good. Water and electric hook-ups. Dumpstation provided.

beautiful marina at cape fair - the restaurant is great, good food and prices. in the summer, its really busy so if you're wanting to rent a boat, call them early and schedule - we have gotten rentals as early as 6am for our family! don't forget to gas up and get fishing lures and snacks at their general store too - super convenient if you have a family out there. sometimes, the parking lot does get flooded, so call them ahead of time!
