This is a large campground with sites generally well spaced apart, you don’t feel right on top of your neighbors. Lots of site variation, so do your homework or be flexible, you might get an amazing lake side spot with a view, but not enough room for a tent. Great amenities, including flush restrooms and showers, and firewood available for purchase onsite.

Even without a boat or any lake toys we had a lot of fun hanging on the shore and letting the dogs swim, and even took a dip ourselves. The town of Valley Springs is ~5 min away by car, and has a great little grocery store and a fun run down ice cream shop among other restaurants, etc.
