Our inaugural trip here won't be our last, that's certain. They've done an excellent job of restoring sections B and C after the tornado. It's true that the spots with the most stunning water vistas (17-27) are completely exposed to the sun, but proper shades and air conditioning can mitigate this. Having a kayak or boat is essential for visits during the summer season. The river's beauty is remarkable. The camping areas are spacious, flat, and paired with tidy washrooms. Small details like motion-activated walking lights add a pleasant touch. The place began to get crowded from Thursday, and I imagine it's bustling during the weekends, but it retained a serene atmosphere.

The park is very clean pad sits are nice and level. The hook ups are easy and nice very well done. The beach is great the lake is incredible easy to get boats in and out. Swimming is very nice all sites well maintained.

Check-in was a little slow as the attendant was on a smoke break and didn't come in for 5 minutes. There are three loops: A, B, and C. We stayed in A (the "original" loop) since it had trees (trees in B&C were knocked out by a tornado a couple of years ago). Our site was good, lots of shade, as described, away from everyone else, very quiet, new gravel, only a bit sloped. Many sites, ours included, were full hookups. Our electrical pedestal was falling apart, and required three bungie cords to hold the surge protector in place (the outlet was upside down?). The bath house was awful: dirty leaking pipes, rust stains, filthy toilet--and it was not cleaned from Wednesday at noon until we left Friday at 10. We hiked 5-6 miles on some very nice hiking trails, saw a decent enough golf course, and the usual lodge restaurant, tennis courts, dump station, etc. Meanwhile, Loops B&C have brand new bath houses which were squeaky clean. Those loops have very nice pad sits with clean, fresh gravel, motion sensor lighting, new roads, and new everything. But very few trees, mostly B1- B8 or so, but several sites have a good view of the lake. When we return, we will stay in Loop B in the late fall.
