Great Place. I Love the history!

Great camp site and facilities. We ended up cutting our stay short because the lake was flooded to bad that the ramp was covered and we couldn't get the boat in the water. :(

When literary nerds camp

Visited two nights as part of a Mark Twain related trip. Lots of fisherman camping, not as many Mark Twain nerds. Didn't bring children, but noticed a playground near the campsites. Decently spaced campsites and vault toilets. Lake was beautiful.
