LegendStayed here for 4 nights in sites 27 and 28. Right across from the bathrooms which were more than adequate. Was able to put our paddle board in from site 27 - just had to walk thru a little brush to access the river. Very quiet campground. No other campers in our loop at all. Sites are shady and perfectly level.
LegendNot sure if it’s somewhere I would stay right now due to one section being closed.
LegendThis area is closed. I spoke to a ranger this morning who said the road is full of widow makers. People are moving his barricades and going in anyway.
TravelerStayed here three beautiful nights. Take the road down slow - there are some big chunks missing, but it didn’t cause me any issues. The lake is beautiful and they have decks right by the waterfront to relax in. I can’t speak to the facilities since I brought my own water and didn’t check out the toilets, but if you just need a pretty place to sleep, this was perfect!
ScoutCheck in with very nice and friendly. Bath houses are a bit dated but clean. Nice view of Tom bigby waterway. No sewer hookups but does have a dump station.
ScoutCampground looks nice, RV sites have water but no electricity, dump station available. Very quiet, some sites right on the water.
LegendNice place but since the ice storm hit, it is definitely in need of some clean up.
RangerGPS will send you thru the city but there's a direct routes around city. Follow the river road around city and it goes by the turn off to campground. Campground is nicely organized, some sites are close to ea h other some are spaced out double Check the map. Also lots shade over sites you might need extra cable to set up your satellite device in open space. Staff at entry point was very helpful and friendly. Our site was nicely shaded and level. Bathhouse was clean. Shower hardware needs some updates.
TravelerBeautiful sites nestled in the forest up against the lake. The sunset is absolutely gorgeous!
Watch out for water moccasins though!
