The office is located in the marina section of the park and isn't too easy to find. The staff was friendly; however, they take cash-only for payment and have no change on the premises. We ended up in a small area not part of the main campground on site 14. The dogwoods were almost in full bloom and we had a nice view of a small inlet from the lake. Date of visit: Mar 2009 |

This is the transient area at the entrance to the campground. |
 |
Sites 1-4 in the transient area. We were originally assigned to site 1, up the hill just past the trailer, but it was so tilted and had only a shared electric box with a 15A outlet for us, that we went back to the office and managed to get a level site. |
 |
There are some nice lake-front sites in the main part of the campground. |
 |
These nice sites were on a small peninsula. |
 |
The main campground is full of seasonal trailers. I found it very interesting that most of these seasonal sites do not have sewer hookups; folks have to use the big blue honey wagons. |
 |
There are several docks along the waterfront where campers can tie up their boats. There is also a large marina and boat launch area in the park. |
 |
Most of the campground is located on a hillside in a pine grove overlooking the lake. |
 |
This was the worst of the sites I noticed as we walked the campground. |
 |
There are two modern bathhouses, although both are quite a hike from the transient area. They appeared clean and have free showers. |
 |
Across the entrance road from the campground is a paved walking trail and in the distance you can see the large play area. |
 |
One of three large covered docks in the park. |

Just a short walk from the campground is the Jackson County Park Restaurant. It seems to be a popular gathering spot for breakfast. We thought we'd like to have dinner there, but apparently in the winter months, it's closed in the evening. |
