About Our Stay
This place was such a pleasant surprise. We were right across the lake from Margaritaville, and it felt like we were in a different world. We got really lucky on this one. On our way, we didn't realize it, but they had called us to tell us there was a problem with our site, so they had to relocate us. As they were sold out, we got the unused host site. This meant we were upgraded from E/W to a full hookup site, the closest to the beach area. We had such a huge camp area and a paved walkway (ADA accessible) to the beach area. This place is built up on the side of the lake and has some awesome views. We enjoyed a 4th of July here and would love to go back. It is part of the Army Corps of Engineers, so a great value!
