100 stars for the calm and quiet lake, -100 stars for the people yelling at us in an empty parking lot that we had to move parking spots. All summer when there was loads of people, we would park in the boat trailer parking spots because it gave us a safe place to inflate our paddle boards and no one gave us grief. Now that there isn’t anyone at all parked in the lot, they won’t let us park there even when we explained. I get rules are important but we were not inconveniencing anyone. It’s definitely ruined this lake for us, do not recommend.

Massive alligators! Myself and may others have seen them. Saw a maybe 9ft long one and a 6ft long one. Probably more than juat those two. They are down there in that cove right of the swimming area. To he right of the deck. THE ARE THERE!! PLEASE BE CAREFUL!! I suggest only using the boat ramp and fishing. NO SWIMMING IS SUGGESTED!!!

Nice place to camp at a reasonable price. Park is a little outdated but I accepted over these resorts any day of the week. Thank you. You are doing a great job and I appreciate it.

Nice campground, good price for both dry camping and electric hookups. 5 full hook up spot. Fishing pier, and small swimming beach. First come first serve. Loop A has five sites with water and 30/50 amp electric.

The primitive campground was nice but could use better grounds keeper. The swimming area was a lot of fun. The camp host does not know how to talk to children and was very rude because they were fishing at the dock. I had them move to a different area, and the lady pulled out her phone to take a picture or video of me. The bathroom is dirty. This place could be amazing with good staff!!

I have stayed here in my RV and tent camped. It's ok but nothing special. Myself and members of my family have a park pass to use the facilities especially the boat ramp which is in terrible need of attention. The ramp is covered over with sand and has been for several yrs. Told the head office but have yet to see anything done about it. Would take 30 minutes with small tractor to clear sand off ramp. Let's get it done!

Campsites can't be reserved in advance and the only options to pay are cash or check. The campsites aren't marked. I think there was a camp host, but the was yelling coming from the tent city at the host spot so I decided to just leave. Before leaving I did notice that the campsites has trash and the bathroom smelled like someone cleaned fish in it. The toilet paper was wet and a bar of soap was the only option.
