Pioneer Campsite

Went tent camping at the pioneer campsite - for larger groups (35-40) but smaller groups can reserve too - we only had 4 people. Pioneer is up the hill from the main Rv campground and there is a little trail you can drive up - a car can make it but recommend a truck. Pioneer is spacious and all to yourself. Main campground is pretty close together but you can tent camp there too. Played putt putt and walked the trails - clean campground with nice staff/host.

New Site

We stayed at the newly built “blue site”. We enjoyed that it was secluded from the other campers and not crowded! There was a view of the lower lake. However the lower lake doesn’t have a big stock of fish (not for our experience). With this being newly built the asphalt seemed to give a little and even just sitting in our chairs made indentation. There is a small fire pit (we didn’t use this). With it being a new site there was some red mudd the got scattered after a short rain shower (mostly from our littles). We visited the “beach” one day and the water was super warm. There’s a cute little waterfall down a walking trail behind lot 27 in the red sites. There are two bath houses available for campers only. They are not cleaned to my standards (but I’m OCD). There are state inmates during the day that ride around and pick up your trash from your sites. It did not appear to have a guard with them! Overall it was an okay short trip and cheap if you have kids to go to the beach and little park they have! The blue sites did not have much shade so it was pretty hot being July! The red sites are more shaded and seemed cooler!!

John Tanner Park. Nice park with Elec. & Water. Nice hosts.

We've stayed here numerous times over the past two years as full-time RVrs. They have two small lakes with a swim/picnic area on larger lake. Fishing and non-motor boating on both. There are paved and non-paved walking paths. Two+ bathroom/

shower areas and an inexpensive 1 washer, 1 dryer laundry. They are currently working on an additional camping area with full hook-ups.

Privacy - nice wooded County park

Great county park. Has tent and under 28' ft rv (red) sites and yellow above 28' ft rv sites. Includes pull through and back in sites. Bathhouses are kept clean. Has lots of paved walking trails, fishing, boating, sand beach/swimming, and mini golf. Only reason for 4 stars is there is no septic, just a dump station.

Basically a “little hole in the wall”

This place is small but has a lot to offer. They have RV hookups and putt putt golf. They offer cabin rentals and a lake “beach” for swimming and paddle boat rentals. I usually come here to grill out for family events and to do some fishing. Not a bad little place to visit.
