The only thing that would make it better is if you had full hookups.

Weather was great . Camp ground in great shape , camp host friendly . Had one issue with a neighbor south of our camp site burning a camp fire that smoked the whole time we were there . And of course the wind was out of the south east , blowing the smoke right into our camper .I guess that is part of the deal !

Didn't do much fishing. Too windy, but enjoy the relaxation of camping. Sites are well kept. Have grown up on Canton Lake OK Never disappointed

This site was good and the camp host was super friendly, though I really didn't like the crazy amount of black and red beetles everywhere. They were all over the ground and picnic table, which made sitting down for meals less than appealing.

Able to back right up to the lake and had plenty of room for our 40’ 5th wheel, truck, car, and boat.

We have stayed 3 separate weekends Since purchasing our trailer in August 2020. We have stayed in A section each time; each campsite has It’s own advantages and they have been great!
The campgrounds are very clean and well maintained.The gate attendants are always available for any questions and very helpful. They do a terrific job maintaining the grounds.
Our latest stay was in A22..... AWESOME lake view BUT the bugs (Bees, flies, dragon flies, & spiders) were quite thick. We hadn’t experienced that at the other sites. The lake view was terrific.
Haven’t decided where we will stay next but it will be soon!
