This was an interesting place to camp. Its right on the side of the road, next to Grand Lake. Being on the lake, it made sense that most of the campers were there to play on the water. The campground is really three campgrounds. Each one is a little bit down the road from the next. I think the best picks were either the one that overlooks the dam ( Pensacola Dam) or the one on the other side that is more wooded and had less asphalt. Both of these options had a bath house, but the one with more trees didn’t seem to have been taken care of as much as the bathhouse by the dam. There is a marina (not sure if it was public or private, didn’t walk down that way to check it out as I was traveling without a boat) behind the dam campground. Beyond the asphalt, another downside of the dam campground was that it had the boat ramp right next to the campground as well as the road and the dam highway, so it was loud during the day, and while traffic eased up after dark, if you end up with a site close to the road you also get headlights right in your tent. If you have the time and get there at the right time, apparently you can take a tour of the dam which is very interesting to look at from the campground. Things were really quiet in late October, but I suspect these sites are booked solid in the summer months. I think they take reservations.
