GuideStayed for a week at Arlie Moore Campground. Easy access to this recreation area via I-30. Sites well maintained. A picnic table and fire ring are provided, as well as a lantern post. This rec area also has a boat launch. We had great Verizon service with the use of a cellphone booster. With out the booster service was fair depending where you are. There are restrooms, showers, and water available. It was very quiet here, and several nights you would hear the coyotes howling. We will return!

GuideBeautiful State Park. Full hookup, paved and level pads with picnic table, fire ring, grill, tent pad, lantern pole. Bathhouse clean and well maintained. Area we were in is on a peninsula with water on both sides. No road noise, quiet and very peacefull. Say lots of deer. Would absolutely stay again.
LegendMy first impressions of this site were terrible. The Bathrooms are extremely old and honestly seem like they're rotting down. The playground area is small but jot terrible. The area for rvs is pretty cramped with no privacy. Luckily while talking to some folks there they directed us on down the road. There are two more sections specifically for primitive camping that are really nice. There are a couple picnic tables and fire rings. There is also a nice pond. The cell signal isn't terrible but it's a bit hit and miss for internet.
Overall, I would suggest it but don't expect to use their showers or bathroom. Go a couple minutes down the road and use the state parks showerhouse. It's really nice.
RangerWell maintained, lodge on site, family and pet friendly.
ScoutThe fishing at Degrey is superb, I have been coming to DeGrey since I was a little girl and I am 48 yrs old now.
DeGrey is magical and a great family and pet friendly State Park.
GuideWe don’t have one complaint about our stay. The camp ground is very clean and in good shape. The pads are all asphalted so pretty level. Trash bins are at every other site and the bathroom is not a far walk. The temps are really hot but the bugs aren’t too bad. My family will be back!!
