"The best thing about this site was the access to the lake and the little beach where you can wade and swim! This campsite is prone to flooding so it’s not always available."
"We had site 39 that backed right up to the lake. Campground was very clean and easy to get around. This was a great place to get away and just sit by the lake enjoying the day."
"The park felt very secluded, but Walmart was just a short drive away when we needed to pick up a few things we had forgotten."
"No clear shot of Starlink (other loop closed, but sites on lake there would work). T-Mobile 5G & Verizon 4G fine in sites 4 thru 10. Not do good around #24
Facilities great."

TravelerThis was a great place to stay overnight. Gravel sites . New owners are making improvements. Road to the campground was narrow and a little bumpy getting there but was reasonable for an overnight stay. The owner was super nice 👍
TravelerOlder and newer sites. Wooded and clear sites. Fire pits, Pic nice tables. Pool. bathrooms and showers. Boat ramp. Friendly park rangers.
GuideWe spent a weekend in October here and absolutely loved it. We had a tent site and my only complaint about that was a leaking spicket that drained onto campsites. The trick or treating is the best. Start right when you can because there are so many sites offering candy or haunted areas. The spook trail is top tier! And there were plenty of activities throughout the day for the kids. Water park is heated which I didn’t know and wished we brought swim suits. Had tons of laughs and memories with my family. So much so we already booked for next October and have more family coming!!
ScoutGreat lil quiet spot.
GuideIt is an older campground. Not very well suited for big rigs. No wading or swimming dt alligators. Many sites are on the water. Sadly, the electric box didn’t work at my first site 10. I moved to 38, but I had trouble finding it. I needed help.
RangerQuite and peaceful small campground with bathroom, hot showers and laundry available. Nice campsite with lake view. Staff is friendly.
TravelerWe chose this campground to stay for 1-2 nights while traveling to New Orleans. We reviewed all available information beforehand: Google reviews, Wikicamps, The Dyrt, and the website... nowhere did it mention that the campground was closed. After a 11-hour drive, we arrived at 8 PM only to find the campground closed. Very, very frustrating...
RangerThere are 5 RV sites at this location. They are easy to reserve on Love's website. We stayed overnight on our way back to Texas. Once we arrived, we checked in on the link, and poof, the power came on.
Well-lit and safe. I recommend utilizing these sites when you are on a long travel timeline.
ScoutOur family of 5 (young kids) stayed for the weekend. A four day weekend would have been perfect. Our site was easy to get into and relatively easy to level. Full hookups. Activities included swimming, splash pad, hiking, disk golf, fishing, kayak rentals, and playgrounds. They are about to close the park for the season to renovate. All the pads are about to be concrete and I think they are fixing some of the space issues(some spots are currently tight to get into). We will be back next year.
