    Great Quiet Visit

    A total gem. Just outside of Russellville Arkansas. 5 miles to any shopping or activity you want. Spacious sites with very clean bathrooms. Visitors Center has great displays. Swimming, boating, fishing....everything you would want in a family campground

    Water stinks

    Water smells awful, like sewage at times, the shallower areas are filled with broken glass and junk/trash

    Sunset provided beautiful views.

    We enjoyed walking the lake area at 4-5 pm and watching the sun set. The Lake is so beautiful and temperatures were just right!
