We stopped here for one night and ended up parking down by the boat ramp to get better Solar and satellite, but the campground just up the hill has small standard sites with tables, campfire pits, a pavilion and some bathrooms (needed some cleaning) 

Really quiet spot in November - we only saw one other vehicle drive out and leave.

I didn't camp here, but thought I leave an updated review. Previous review still applies. This is a free primitive campground, but a permit is required to camp here; see COE Web site for info. There is a very clean portable john with tp in the campground. It appears that the campsites themselves have not been maintained in a while, although the campgound itself looks nice, with a view of the lake. Some of the sites are close together offering no privacy. I received T-Mobile cell service. Convenient boat ramp nearby. I wouldn't make this campground a multi-day vacation destinition, but it's convenient for an overnight stay and for those using the lake for recreation.
