We had called the day before our arrival and made an informal reservation - the gal took our name etc., and assigned a site, but did not require an deposit. Site 29 was our assigned site.

Date of visit: Feb 2011

All sites are in the woods, with some a little more sunny that others. Setting up a satellite dish can be a challenge. This is the only double site, 30.

There are a good number of pull-through sites; here are 31 and 33.

Sites 15 and 14 are located near the entrance to the main camp loop.

Along another road are 13 private pull-through sites. This Airstream is on site 4.

Site 20.

From October through March, campers can remain on sites 14-38 for up to 6 months at a rate of $249.60 per month.

Site 44 is in an area of tent and pop-up sites that do have water and electric hookups.

There are three heated bathhouses spread through the campground and each offers free hot showers.

A new laundry facility has been installed - washers are $1.25 a load and dryers $1.00.

It's a short walk from the campground to the day-use picnic and swimming area. There are several covered pavilions and some play equipment for the kids.

The sandy beach and swimming are is located on Chickasaw Creek. That's the I-65 bridge over the creek in the background, and yes, you can hear traffic noise in the campground.

There's a dual-ramp boat launch near the beach. The ramp looked awfully steep to me.

SThe ninth hole on the 18-hole disc golf course. We saw notices for regional tournaments posted near the first tee.

Overall Impression:

This is an OK place for a night or two stop, but it didn't strike us as much of a destination kind of place.
