The Dam/spillway is primitive camping. The web site does not clarify the amenities. Outhouse only! No flush toilets. Spots 9 and 10 are very small, no picnic tables, and not mowed well (covered in sand burs). Spots 1-8 are okay. There is nearly constant UTV traffic going to the trail right behind the campground. The boat ramp was not usable for launching a pontoon.

We come here every summer and it is always a good time. Nice and quiet especially at the dam camp sites.

The camp host graciously moved us from our original spot because the electrical box started smoking. We loved a lakeside view. The only issue we had was with the minimally serviced out houses. The lights did not work and it was not very clean. But we loved how quiet and peaceful it was!
