A fishing dock, boat ramp, fish cleaning stations and playground provide additional recreation opportunities for guests. Natural Features: The Black Prairie Belt is characterized by rich, dark soils and a mosaic of rolling grasslands and dense hardwood and pine forests."
 
We decided to go into town and grab a bite to eat at [former] gas station restaurant / cafe. Unfortunately they had sold out of the meat & Three so we ordered off the menu... and it wasn't what we were hoping for... 
When we got to our campsite, we had this wonderful view 
of autumn trees across the lake  -There were lots of water fowl - including at least one pair of loons - so cool.
But, ALAS.
The mosquitos were out in full-force.
So we retreated inside where we enjoyed the view from all those windows. Have I told you lately how much I LOVE our windows? LOL - I'm sure I say it often...
 Our campsite was WONDERFUL. Nice and level with a great view - My sweetheart does such a great job picking out good sites for us!
And I love a mixture of manicured sites plus rustic surroundings!
It was fun to have a bit of spanish moss close by - but not too close - lol - 
Those no-see-ums will eat you up!
 
This was just a quick overnight as we were headed south
 [and it really only added about 30 minutes to our trip..] 
The next morning we enjoyed our yogurt and coffee out 
on our 'patio' before heading out. 
Our first time here - and it was nice. 
We'll be back, for sure.
Grounds are kept neat and tidy -
Internet was great. 
I don't have a review of the bath houses
because we never stopped in to use them.
[Love our #AishlingtheAirstream that meets all of our needs - lol]
