This location is so convenient and easy! Pull through sites that can fit any Rv. Everyone at the front desk was kind and very responsive. The operations manager was so kind as to pick up and deliver our empty propane tanks upon our arrival! Views of the Walker over from the walking trail were perfect. Kids welcome, two nice playgrounds and a pickleball court that they provided rackets for. Each site also has a small grass area. Would definitely come back!!
We didn’t camp here but drove in to use the beach while we were there. They charged $5 for the entire car for the day, very affordable to rent chairs and umbrella on site when you arrive, they pick up at 5:30pm. Beach wasn’t too busy and the water was perfect!
An amazing park and such a great way to visit Destin! Beautiful tree coverage, nice large sites with privacy between sites. Easy to bring your own boat, canoe or kayak to drop in and leave in the water near your sites. The 30s sites are definitely preferred due to having beautiful water views!
This is one of our favorite state parks! Make reservations early, they book up quick! You can make reservations 11 months in advance but we have scored a site setting up a cancellation notification.
The jetty area is perfect for young kids, it’s shallow enough for them to play and very little waves. Water is beautiful!! Be sure to bring your own chairs and umbrella, they are expensive to rent.
Campground has full hook ups, big rig friendly, laundry (bring your own quarters) and clean bath houses!
We loved our trip here! Playground, beach and splash pad were fantastic. Clean bath houses and very nice staff. I would suggest staying in the lower numbered sites, they are newer are larger, great for big rigs! Lots of pull-through sites that aren’t on top of your neighbors. Some of the higher numbered sites you can tell are a bit older and closer together.
They did a fantastic job putting in the new Campground with full hook ups and extra large sites! Bath house is close by but we honestly didn’t use it. Nice wide hiking/biking trails, lots of water access, beautiful new bridges and a nice big playground. We will definitely revisit!
You can definitely tell that the majority of people here are full-time residents. They only have one portion of the park that is available for short stays, although we really did enjoy the path along the lake, the pool and playground.  The bathrooms and showers are very clean and they have laundry on site. 
My husband and I came to the Houston rodeo and stayed here strictly for proximity to the stadium. The RV park did have a shuttle which was very nice to get us to and from. Most sites are large enough for big rigs, you do have to park on the gravel right in front of your rig which can be tight. Nice concrete pads at each site. Traffic can be loud and there are many full-time set ups here with permanent residents. Has a gate with a code so it did feel safe at night. Small dog park that could use some extra TLC. Laundry on premises, no play ground, good wifi and Verizon service.
Beautiful park! The lake views were amazing in the morning watching the sun come up. Love the amenities they provided we loved the playground that was covered which allowed us to play with our kids in the heat of the day and even with rain. They also had a pool that was very clean and nice laundry on premises. Bathroom to use was also very clean.
If I had to list a drawback, the traffic on the main road was very loud throughout the night, even with a large privacy fence .
Nice large pull through sites with easy hook ups. We stayed here for 4 days due to proximity to Kisatchie National Forest for the Red Dirt Ultra. We liked having laundry on site, clean and affordable. Our kids loved our long horn neighbors! Many residents here but not at all over whelming and everyone was very nice. Had a small pool but it was not open during our visit.
Overall, this is a very nice and convenient campground. We really enjoyed the beach area and the trails. Lots of mountain bikers throughout the weekend. It did have shower houses but we did not use any because we lucked out and got a full hook up site I will say most of the sites are not level, I have some broken concrete and need some TLC. We stayed in the B loop and loves the proximity to the playground and beach. Seems like there could have been numerous full-time residents staying in Loop A.
Only stayed one night, easy to access sites with large Rv, flat site, didn’t even have to unhitch. Our kids had a blast on the inflatable jump pad which was open all day and we could watch them from our spot! Big open field, great shower and laundry facilities as well.
Easily accessible with a large RV. Has multiple pull through sites, bath house and laundry close by. We were there during off season so some of the park was closed and they collected payment through honor system. We did some great hikes and walked around the beach area which was very nice. Would love to revisit during warmer months.
We loved the proximity to the entrances to the Great Smoky Mountains and to amazing hikes. Overall this campground is primarily full-time residents and storage for RVs. They do have clean laundry facility but no bath houses. Out site was a pull in site which made things a little tricky and the site was not level at all. Takes about 35 mins to get to Gatlinburg.
You can definitely tell there has been lots of recent work completed. The West Rim was closed during our visit but we stayed at the newly renovated East Rim and it was very nice. Flat sites, well spaced, some pull through sites that are very large for big rigs. There are also a few handicap paved sites near the bath house. Access to trails directing behind cabins.
Beautiful water front sites and good location right off 95. We are here visiting family for the holidays and it’s serving us well. I will say you can tell most people are long term residents. Only the front section is available for nightly booking. Cute little dock, fishing from your campsite if waterfront and an area to put in small boats or kayaks. Also has a bathhouse that is dated but clean.
We love it at Colonel Denning! Very quiet and small campground. We love the dog friendly sites near the water, the kids and pups play all day! We love how large site 15 is and that it is near the trail head. Bathhouse is very nice and clean.
So we went with friends of ours and we all have kids. We had to write in large letter with chalk on the road for people to slow down. Everyone was driving way over posted speed limits and the kids could hardly play.
Sites were close together, some more level than others. Swimming/beach area was very nice to have but water was a bit stagnant.
