We had one of the best unobstructed views of Mount Magazine from our campsite along with a good view of Blue Mountain Lake. We had a very pleasant 3-day stay. Everything was clean and well kept. We will be back again soon! There are quite a few cozy camp sites for travel trailers or tents nestled in the woods of the peninsula where we were. Also, there is a nice beach on the south side of the park. I would recommend this camping area to any one.

Campsites need lots of work and updated for larger campers. We can’t get our new camper into site 50. Very poor construction

Waveland Park had very clean, nice restrooms and showers. Sites were clean, although close together. Only complaint was that, at 8 am, maintenance drove around with leaf blowers attached to vehicle blowing leaves off of the road. Very loud and annoying that early morning.
