We live on the road full-time and our schedule always changes, so we typically don't book campsites more than a week in advance. This one we booked the day of and there were still plenty of sites available. The process couldn't be any easier, although I wish there were images of each campsite to help in the selection process. But for $24 what you gonna do? The site we chose prior to arriving was not ideal. I wish the attendant from the park would have steered us in a better selection. But when we arrived, it was about 7pm and the office had already closed. Make sure if you're coming late, don't try coming in after 10pm as they lock the gate. But the sign in the window instructed us to park and check in the next morning. Like I said, when we got to the site, it wasn't ideal. We saw plenty of other sites available so we looked back on the website, found the one we REALLY wanted, called the phone number, and were quickly changed to that site. The park employees actually came around on a golf cart the next morning and check us in. We never even needed to go to the office! The campsite itself... breathtaking with an amazing lakefront view. Huge site with a large "porch" with a big wooden picnic table, fire pit, and grill. We had at least 100 feet of lake shore all to ourselves. We swayed on our hammocks and watched the sunset on the water. The neighbors to either side of us were barely noticeable. Tons of trees and shade. Biking around to explore the park, we noticed that the place was only 1/3 full, and this was on the weekend. The weather was to die for. The other Corps of Engineers parks on this lake were full, not sure why this one wasn't as well. I work online from the RV and when we arrived, my Verizon mifi was nearly unusable but my AT&T service had over 30mbps, so I had to hotspot off my phone. A couple days later I was able to get a good connection again on the jetpack so I'm not sure what the issue was. You are only 15 minutes away from any restaurants or shopping you desire, but you feel like you are in glorious wilderness, aside from all the boaters, jet skis, and wakeboarders. I've read that people were deterred from the noise, but I like to see people having fun so it didn't bother me in the slightest. For that reason I gave it 4 stars. All the sites are beautifully paved, great views, quiet, tons of trees. For a few days I felt like a queen living on a lake. Only downside is you don't have sewage except one dump station... but it's worth it to be surrounded by water and nature.
