Passing thru

Did a drive around of the campground. Spacing looks great between sites. Sites look clean and level. Some sites are next to the Obey River. Will be camping here in the near future.

The COE does it again

Another real nice COE campground. Nicely spaced, some paved, most are level sites. Table, standup bbq grill, extra small table, lantern hooks, electric & water. Sites near the back of the campground by the fish hatchery were nice and back up to a fence, but constant construction noise. Plus a rather steep backup ramp to pad area. We had a site across from the road from river (#25), but could not see it due to the thick brush & trees on the bank. No wifi,but good ATT & Verizon cell service. Nice half mile paved walk/bike path that takes you past the trout fishing area and back to the campground.

Worth a return visit.

Clean, friendly, relaxing

Our family loves coming here every year; the amenities are kept clean and in good working order, the campsites are well maintained and it has a beautiful biking/walking path. The fish hatchery is fun for kids And there is a perfect swimming area by the dam. The park rangers have always been very friendly. It has a park and volleyball area for kids to play at. It is close enough to the small town to pick up anything needed; but there isn’t any camp store at the site itself. Even when we were tent camping in the pouring rain we had a good time.

Great campground

We have only camped here once however we are booked next month and we can't wait.  We loved this campground.  It offers great shade sites, walking trails and water access.  Everyone was very nice and grounds are clean

River front camping!

Campground parallels the Obey River. Plenty of fish opportunities from boat, kayak, wading and shoreline. Campsites have plenty of shade but restroom/shower houses could use some repair/updating. Also bring plenty of ice as there is no ice machine on site. Nearest place to get ice is 2 miles away in Celina TN

Great Views Nice Pricing

With only one non improved site I was a little hesitant of this site. I didn't really need electricity but I went ahead and opted into the $27 site and charged my devices for the evening.

I arrived and noticed that this is a decently sized campground right by the dam area. The views of the water and all the activities which that can include was perfect and access to the information center was just a short drive. I was very impressed.

I settled in and while it was pretty crowded at the campsite, it was not loud like some campgrounds I have stayed at along the way. Roads were gravel and easy to navigate and each campsite was fitted with the typical camp ring and picnic table. Sites were level and there was a nice mix of RV campers and tent campers at the facility.

This was a great area to spend a little time on the road because of its amenities and proximity to the water. I loved the surroundings and how green everything was coming from the dry Texas vegetation. It was very cool to also see how the dam contributes to the area and the information they have available when staying at the campground.

TIPS:

  • Check out any number of water sports available in the area and soak in the area fully.

  • Do be aware of the events taking place throughout the year 2018 celebrating the 75th anniversary of the dam. During some of these activities camping can be very difficult to lock in.

  • Pay attention to the firewood regulations!
