Great Lake to have fun in, the campsite had toilets and showers and fire pits, some campsites have more trees than others for hammocks. Be sure to check the weather, huge rain/lightning storm hit us in the middle of the night. You can rent kayaks there. Easy to drive there.

Big lake

I tent camped in the Great Horned Owl section which does not have hookups, though other sections did for a higher price. There were RVs in the same section and that blocked the views for a lot of the tent sites. I was charged an additional $15 just to have an additional car which I thought was pretty crazy. There are warm showers and reservoir access for boats included (I took my paddle board out and the water was pretty rough but fun) but $40 is a lot for a tent site this close to neighbors with generators who block the views. 

Expensive but reservoir access

The area is so pretty! We tent camped in the Great Horned Owl loop and it was a well kept and tidy. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The sites are a bit close together but that could be a bonus for small groups that want to be near to each other. The day use parking lot is adjacent to sites 20 and 21. Read the descriptions when you book if you are tent camping, not all the sites are suitable for it. Site 20 was okay, but our tent ended up having to be on slight slope. We might try site 4 when the weather is cooler since it was a little more flat for tent camping, but it didn’t have much shade. The flush bathrooms were clean and the showers warm and convenient. 

Pretty area,  better for trailers and RV

This campground was large, yet peaceful. There are actually four different campgrounds within the state park. We showed up without a reservation on a Thursday and were able to get a nice spot without hookups next to the lake for $30. Bathrooms and showers were clean, drinking water tasted fine. 

Lake view 

Good view of the lake and easy access from the road. However, the road also made it super noisy. In addition, boats on the water go from early morning to late evening. Massive spiders in the bathroom
