Army Corps of Engineers manages this established campground within Hords Creek Recreation Area, where sites accommodate RVs up to 100 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. Rates range from $24 to $130 per night, with reservations available through the standard federal booking system. The campground provides multiple access options including drive-in, boat-in, and hike-in routes, though some reviewers note the road access can be rough.
Sites sit on mixed terrain combining forested areas with open spaces near both creek and lake frontage. Katie H. found "the lake was beautiful, the swimming areas clean, the bathrooms tidy" during a three-night stay. The facility maintains drinking water, restrooms, and WiFi connectivity. Campers regularly mention the water access for fishing, kayaking, and swimming activities.
Staff rangers provide local knowledge about hiking opportunities, including directions to swimming holes accessible via nearby trails. Several visitors highlight the spacious site layout and generally clean conditions throughout the campground. Bug activity can be significant during warmer months, with multiple campers recommending insect repellent as essential gear.
Pets are welcome throughout the property, and campfires are permitted in designated areas. For additional camping options in the broader region, campers can explore places to camp around Bangs or check nearby Flatrock Park just northwest of this location.
