Sites 21-24 are very close together

We stayed in tent site 22 for a weekend camping trip. You can’t tell by looking at the Recreation.gov reservation site but tent pad 22 is one of 4 in a grouping of tent sites. 21-24 are so close together. If you are with friends or a large family group then it would be ideal but if don’t want people right on top of you then pick another site. Thankfully, we had some cool neighbors but it was a very noisy and bright spot to camp. Also, your neighbors have to walk through your campsite to get to either of the two water spickets that serve all 4 campsites. There is no where to park your boat unless you rent an RV spot and there is no boat ramp in the camp ground. All of the spots were very shady and cool. We had a good time but we wanted to warn others so you know what you are getting into.

Great spot for one night!

Very nice staff and well maintained sites. My only complaint would be I noticed a good amount of trash on the lakeshore, and the sites were closer together than I prefer. Otherwise great stay!

Edgewood Recreation Area

Great campground on beautiful Degray Lake near Arkadelphia. 30 & 50 amp sites with electricity and water. Nice clean bath houses.

Corps camping on Lake DeGray

Smaller than its neighbor Caddo, and with a swim beach. The sites vary in length and width, as well as desirability. The concrete ones generally seem nicer than the asphalt ones. The campsites at nearby DeGray Lake Resort State Park are much more built out with wooden edging around large pads, whereas at the COE campgrounds you get a simpler setup of table, pole, and parking. If State Park isn’t full I would choose it instead.

Disappointing.

We stayed at this camp ground Memorial Day weekend 2018. So disappointing! I stayed at this campground as a child and have very fond memories but was very dissipointed this time. Some of the sites are very unlevel and there was poison ivy overgrown everywhere. You could not walk anywhere without having to pick your way through it. We got ticks on us and so did our dogs. The parking is terrible and not enough of it anywhere, especially near the swimming area. We have another weekend reserved here and if I can get reservations in another campground I will cancel the ones for here.
