The stay was nice but rude neighbors ruined the experience. Just being honest.

@SaraS5412351 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #56

We had an absolute blast camping here over the holiday weekend. My only complaint was that number 55 20 amp electrical kept tripping.

@ScottM5484435 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #7

Some of the most wonderful rock formations, great walks very well kept park

@TerryW7794324 · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #25

Very clean and the staff was very helpful

@KathrineRD40C5 · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #5

Beautiful spot. Clean facilities. Very nice folks. I really like this park because they give you so much room!

@KathyW3384810 · Camped on Jun 15, 2024 at Campsite #S1

This is a great location. We use it for a cookout for a pretty large group. There's playground equipment for the kids, lots of shade and nice bathrooms. It is not on the water, which works well for a picnic. No issues with accessibility for the seniors in our group.It has a nice grill as well.

@JosephC1997223 · Camped on May 3, 2024 at Campsite #52

We enjoyed our stay here. Easy in and out and our site (52) had plenty of room with a great view of the lake. Our site was level and the campground in general, was well maintained.

@JoshuaC4915082 · Camped on Sep 14, 2023 at Campsite #10

Great location. Amenities were clean and well taken care of. Camp staff was very friendly. Will visit again!

Love this place

When we arrived the office was closed - and thats ok; our reservation was attached to the electrical box The entire campground was neat and tidy. Flush uni-sex restroom clean. Fabulous view. Easy off I-35 access. We went through the town of Malvern to get here - and our advice is bring what ya need cause theres nothing to speak of in Melvern. We drove across the dam to the north side of the lake to Eisenhower State Park - where I stood on Omaha Beach! We not only would do another one-night stop-over at Coeur dAlene ACE campground again, wed like to come back for a longer stay. This campground is very close to a very busy rail line - it didnt bother us, but for those it might you might want to stay at one of the other area campgrounds farther from the line.

@TarrahGC1FADAB · Camped on Jul 30, 2023 at Campsite #5

We had a great time! All of the facilities were well maintained and the camp hosts were so wonderful. We cant wait to come back!

@CarolF5826399 · Camped on Jul 22, 2023 at Campsite #S1

This picnic area has a nice playground and very clean bathrooms. Weve reserved it several times.

@CurtWD82DCC9B2 · Camped on Jul 21, 2023 at Campsite #60

Nice spot, close to the washhouse. Good westerly views while sitting on higher ground.

@ToddS5367268 · Camped on Jul 20, 2023 at Campsite #35

We had a great experience camping in our new trailer for the first time.

@JustinrE4CA4CF · Camped on Jul 14, 2023 at Campsite #26

Nice and quiet for a weekend getaway! Shallow beach area great for kids but questionable for getting a ski boat close to the bank. All and all great spot for the family!

@TammiG0E0CA4B1 · Camped on Jun 15, 2023 at Campsite #50

Well maintained and clean! Helpful staff and perfect weather made for an awesome Father’s Day weekend!

@ChrisH3497025 · Camped on Jun 1, 2023 at Campsite #45

Only issue was there’s train tracks about 1/2 south. So if you’re staying in a tent and there’s any breeze out of the south you can hear them rumbling and horn blowing all night. It’s a very busy track. Should be fine in a camper

@SandyB8909652 · Camped on May 29, 2023 at Campsite #5

Best ever - the park was all mowed for once. the host people were the friendliest and helpful! will be going back in a couple of weeks.

@AndyZ5DF938D59 · Camped on May 25, 2023 at Campsite #35

Camper pads are narrow and out of level in both directions

@WilliamB132333 · Camped on May 24, 2023 at Campsite #47

Camp hosts are very friendly and the TV reception is great. We camp in this area regularly, but being on top of a hill, we received 97 channels! :) The Corps of Engineers provides life jackets at the boat ramps and swimming beach free of charge.

@AureleR85AE863 · Camped on May 20, 2023 at Campsite #37

Love it here!

@JamesC5011896 · Camped on May 5, 2023 at Campsite #24

May 5th thru May 7th Awesome weather, clear skies and perfect temps the whole weekend. Meet lots of friendly folks, campsite 24, near the water very Picturesque. Basic camping is the way to go, but gotta have my air mattress! The trails were a great walk and refreshing. The facilities were clean and stocked, showers were nice and hot! Going back in June.

@HaroldM6881223 · Camped on May 1, 2023 at Campsite #44

We camp there every year and usually a couple more times if we can squeeze it in, there’s always a nice breeze on the hill and it’s not very far from the water

@ChantelW870110 · Camped on Sep 24, 2022 at Campsite #37

The most beautiful, manicured campground. My family loves it!

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
