A well-maintained campground with some facility limitations and occasional noise issues from inconsiderate guests. Visitors appreciated the maintenance quality but noted bathroom closures and enforcement challenges with noise ordinances.

Horrible

The camp ground itself is well maintained but when guests come in that have no respect for other campers, it makes it the worst place to camp for any individual or family with children. They allow over regulations time to shut music ect down and it doesn't matter if they yell things at you because you asked them to turn it down. Garland County police department won't do anything but chew you out for calling them out there. They took two hours to get there so the music had been turned down enough where it could no longer be heard at the cattle guard but didn't bother to drive down to see if it was still blasting around the other camp sites. Instead I was told they had more important things than coming there over load music. They also said they can't do anything unless told directly by the Corp. of engineers. Or if a crime was being committed. They have a regulations sign right at the bathrooms that states 10pm noise ordinance and it all states that if any of these are violated that there is a fine of $5,000 for each violation that has been committed. But all I got was chewed out and told that all I need to do is go back to my camp and try to get some sleep and to call Corp of engineers in the morning and that three cops came out for this bs call and they have more important things to deal with. Garland County at their finest.

Great day trip

Great little campground. The only downside while we were there was the bathrooms were not open.
