Well maintained

Clean restrooms, well maintained rv area with cabins. The camp host was friendly and personable. They have a new area with hookups right on the lake. Apparently winter is the busy time of year, so book those dates early. Summer is not as booked, but the office hours are terrible, so even if you can’t get ahold of anyone don’t be afraid to show up during the summer and talk to the camp host. There is probably something available. Sadly a tornado just went through, and destroyed many of the rv’s. It may be a little while before everything gets put back together.

If you have kids be sure to check out the indoor play area (KRAB) and the pool!
