Good view. That's all

Showers and toilets were under construction so a car ride was required to reach the next closest. Tent sites were overgrown with grass and ticks were abundant. Signage was not good. Good luck finding your site if you arrive after dark. Lots of traffic once it got dark with people circling to look for their sites. Boat traffic in the lake plays loud music late into the evening. Voices carry throughout the campground. Be aware that the park address might be far from your camp site....check your area before plotting your course.

Party lake and bathroom of horror

We had the entire campground to ourselves, which we love, and since we were only passing through didnt pick a picturesque site. There are shelter areas and a bathroom with showers. The sites have fire rings, concrete tables, some have grills and bars to hang stuff on. Since we showed up on a Sunday, trash was everywhere, so this campsite is lacking in cleanliness and there is not a park host. Bathrooms were terrifying. They are not maintained beyond replacing toilette paper, which may be a once a month thing. Stalls were missing doors, the showers didn't turn off completely, it smelled of mildew, and the spiders. The spiders were territorial, guarded the toilets and entryways, and probably ate small birds and kittens. If you have an issue with spiders, I recommend dehydration and starvation. Just kidding...but not totally. Overall, its beautiful here. Could have been a lot cleaner.

Camping for the water enthusiast

This is a very nice state park camping area on the shores of Lake Thunderbird. There is ample wildlife and the lake provides for good fishing and all sorts of boat related activities. The camping areas are well laid out and the bathroom facilities are simple but in good condition. Summer time comes with hot and humid conditions at this park so come prepared to enjoy the water to cool off. There is a marina available on the lake; other facilities will take approximately 30 minutes to get to by vehicle.
