Awesome View

The campground is in a nice location next to the water. Great spot for the price. Has bathrooms, showers, lake access across the entirety of the campground, and a playground. Site 11 is perfect shade next to the water. Lots of bird watching decks.

Perfect spot on the water

This campground is quiet and beautiful with large spaces, perfect for our big RV set up. They offer full hook ups. Our campsite (22) overlooks the water, and the playground which is perfect for our young family. It has a great size of gravel area with picnic table, barbecue, and fire pit. The bathrooms and showers are clean. The campground host was kind and helpful. Can’t beat this for the price! We might stay a few extra days.

Millwood Lake

The lake is huge and we wished we had a big boat to explore it with. Nice little campground, shady and green, with rather spread out sites and great docks. There were lots of bird watchers during our trip in May but I forget what they were looking for LOL.
