Overall Rating

This is an excellent place to get some peace and quiet in a beautiful area. Park just has 33 spaces now. Lots of room in each space. Vault toilets are meticulously cleaned. We stayed in mid-August during the week and there were only 3 to 4 other sites around us that were occupied. The camp host is excellent and went out of his way to recommend excursions for us. The only short coming is that non of the trailer/RV spaces have views of the lake. Several of the walk in sites do.

Overall Rating

It was quiet for us, but early season we were told (July 2nd). Apparently the boaters get busy in August and they can get rowdy!

Massively updated in 2011 and the base data needs updating. 33 sites now we'll spaced and maintained. Lots of pull throughs, deep back-ins and 6 handycapped reserved sites! 30' 5er might have fit in most sites, I measured 2 backins over 60'. Water, no power or sewer. Giant day area, big boat launch, but the lake was low. A normal and a giant group site with a pavilion, 50+ people easy!

Some time at the Lobby dam visitor's center is recommended!
