So many well separated sites to choose from .

Fall visitors to this area and found a gem. Price is reasonable, sites are asphalt with rock picnic areas. Only drawback is finding a level site if you are in a motor home. Well worth the effort and highly recommend this area!

Awesome spot!

This is an Army Corps spot which are our favorites to stay in. Sites were large, level and easy to back into. Facilities were clean. There is a marina with an ice cream shop and the kids can feed the fish. We found a few trails that led to the lake which was a lot of fun. The only downside is that there was no place to swim. All in all, we really liked Ray Behrens!

Great for Boaters!

This is a really well kept campground. The sites are beautiful, the shower houses are clean. The lake is beautiful...if you can see it. We have five sons and one of our musts for a campground is easily accesible water to play in. This is NOT the campground for that. This is a man-made lake and there are sharp drop offs all the way around. It was SO hot when we stayed and we couldn’t get to the water. And we had to find something else to entertain our littles. They did have a fun program at the amphitheater. If we had a boat and the kids were older we might go back but probably not, I really prefer having a beach.
