My mom lives here full time, so we stayed to visit with her. It is a park with mostly permanent residents, but they have a couple rows of spots for nightly stays. They have been putting down new concrete and the spots are double wide. They have little room between them, but with that extra concrete pad it felt much more roomier. Some spots have more shade than others, which is needed in the Florida sun. The Interstate is close by so you can hear the traffic, but nothing major.

Stayed here October 18-23. Very remote park on the lake. Lots of loud vehicles on the road nearby all night long. We arrived in the dark and were scheduled for spot 68. Due to the amount of rain, that spot was flooded all around the pad. We were able to move to spot 54 which was a nice and long concrete pad spot. The one drawback to this park is all the bugs. We saw bugs we’ve never seen before. Others we talked to say this is normal and it’s year round. Once the sun went down, you could not be outside for long. And if you need a signal, this is not the place. Great for a getaway, but don’t rely on it.

Nice quiet campground about 45 minutes from historical Charleston. The park was very empty when we visited in June. The spots were gravel and very rocky with some large rocks. Decent space between sites and some bushes and tress to give a little privacy. Another plus was full hook ups. Not a norm for state parks! Was able to enjoy the outdoors and take walks daily. There's a trail too, but watch out for mosquitos! The two drawbacks were 1. The only place to drop your trash was at the entrance and it was the opposite end as the campground area and 2. With a booster was only able to hold a 1 bar signal and that was not consistent. If you want remote and no access to phone, then this may be the place for you!

This was a great overnight stop right off the Interstate. From the first interaction on the phone (made the reservation same day) our experience was good. Both folks we dealt with were awesome and they made sure we had good directions. Our arrival was much later than expected and Gary had great communication with us since we would be arriving after closing time. We arrived late, but had no problem finding the spot (had several choices) and were able to set up with no issues. After a good night’s sleep, we met Gary in the morning as he was working on the plants around the park. It was very clean and well kept. Overall a good experience and will stay here again when passing through.

Great Tennessee Campground. It was crowded when we arrived and it looks like it is a weekend getaway for many locals. Parking got a little crazy over the weekend but it did not affect us. Our spot looked difficult, but it really was easy to get into and we had so much space around us. Don't get fooled by the "Lake". It was pretty stagnant and not much that you can actually do on it. Close to towns so shopping was a breeze and lots of places to walk. Just be ready for some hills. If we needed to be in the area again, we would stay here.

We used to live in Orlando and didn't know about this park! Visiting friends and stumbled on it. Great park in a great location. It's close to the toll road, but far enough away to keep the traffic noise down. The only drawback is that to get visitors, they had to pay an entrance fee. And....be sure that you know where the parking is for them! It is not clearly identified on the map and a friend visited and parked in the spot right next to us and got a NOTICE on the vehicle. Wasn't even there for an hour! Seriously?! Other than that, it was a great location and we will stay again.

We stayed at this ACE campground while we sold our house in Dallas. Great shaded spots for the most part, space between sites and some good waterfront sites. Spot 25 was very muddy after some rain so plan accordingly for that one. It also is next to the walking path that winds throughout the campground. Good gravel sites, but be prepared to level. When we go back to Dallas, we would stay again.

We stayed here November 5-9th. Had planned on staying through the week, but glad we did not. Spot V15 was in a row of gravel/shell spots in an open field. They did have full hook ups, but the hook ups were in the front of the spot, making it difficult to attach unless you have long hoses. The spot was short and narrow, so it was difficult to put our 22 ft trailer and our truck in the spot without moving the picnic table and again, staying attached to the hook ups. There are train tracks nearby and we could hear them all day and night. Kinda takes away from the atmosphere. We were also there during Tropical Storm Eta so there was lots of rain. So much that the spots were flooding and our neighbors left to a hotel because it was so bad. There’s just no place for the water to drain, so it flooded most of the area. There was a very nice laundry facility which we utilized and a decent bath house. There is wifi offered, but it is very spotty at best. There were folks that were staying there for months, but I would say this is an overnight or weekend only spot.

We were only here for one night transitioning home, August 31st. We had to change the date by a day and they were very accommodating. It is 11 curvy miles off the Interstate, so it’s not a quick off and back on. Our spot was perfect on the lake. However, there was lots of broken glass and bottle caps in the site that had to be cleaned up prior to setting up. The water was in an odd place and on the opposite side of the site, towards the front. Make sure you have a long enough hose. It was quiet overall and we were able to enjoy the evening outdoors watching the few boaters and smacking mosquitos. The cell service was very minimal and I had to walk out on the dock to get anything. We definitely will come back since it’s not a bad weekend drive for us.

We are big fans of COE Campgrounds and wanted to go somewhere for Christmas. We stayed four nights 12/23-12/27. This campground is off the beaten path and lots of locals come here. We stayed in the campground the whole time since it was 15 minutes to the closest town and 30 to really get to stores and restaurant options. The spots were great! They are very well spaced so you're not on top of your neighbor, have great concrete pads and an extra spot to park your vehicle if you wish. The spot we were in was close to the water and had a very long slab for our trailer. The picnic tables had covers on them which was a nice treat. There is a boat ramp, and we saw a few folks use it, but the lake is really low so we didn't take our kayak out. We did a lot of walking and saw some great wildlife! One down side is that there are lots of stickers and our dog kept getting them in her paws just off the roads we walked. Several other folks walking dogs were having the same issue, so be prepared to pull stickers out of their little paws. This is a great campground set up and I see why locals come here.
