Great place to camp and explore!

I really enjoyed my stay here! There's miles and miles of walking and biking trails! The sites are pretty generously sized. The host was nice and the price was fantastic! I paid $42 for 4 nights. If you're a senior, the rate is $7/ night with electric. I imagine it's packed in the summer. Beautiful setting with the lake and river. I started in the East Spillway Loop as that's all that's open in the winter. Easy bike ride into the town of Carlyle.
