Not well kept

So this place is out there a little bit. Right beside the parking lot camp sites there is a nice lake and further up the road there is shooting range. As for the campsites themselves they are very old. The gave fire pits and old concrete picnic tables that have seen better days. No electric, there is a sistern hand water pump (I didn't test it.). There is a place to put trash but no dump station for refuse. There is an out house that looks like something from an 80's horror movie... pics provided. It oughta be bulldozed. All in all the nature part of the Chief cornstalk is ok, but not something I would consider great. Going for a one or two night stay is plenty for catfishing or day fishing. Though you would need to bring everything with you for cooking and using the bathroom. I really don't recommend this place, but I do see a lot of potential with some simple upgrades. Electric, water, a couple bathrooms, new picnic tables and fire pits and a good picnic shelter would make this place worth going to.
