Very nice spot
We stayed a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed this spot. Its a short walk down to the river. The river is warm and slow right there and it has crawfish. My boys caught a handful and had a great time! The camp host is very nice and brings you firewood if you need some (you have to buy it) The bathrooms were clean and well stocked with nice asphalt pathways. The camping spots are all pretty shady and they have a pole by the pic nic tables to hang your light.
