Though swimming and boating are not allowed, anglers will have an enjoyable fishing experience at the lake that is populated with largemouth bass, channel catfish, bluegill and redear. Should you just want to take in the beautiful lake views, head to the Lakeview Picnic Shelter or get on to the Blackjack Oak Trail. The park is home to twenty wildlife-hunting areas and plenty of game hunting opportunities. Deer, squirrel, wild turkey, quail and rabbit are popular game species available in the park.

This is a fantastic camper! There are two
Separate bedrooms a bunk room that sleeps 3 and a primary bedroom with a queen. Lots of storage space as well. The layout of this camper is what we loved the most. There was a center living area with the kitchen, couch, & dinette table, everything you need in the fully stocked kitchen. I’ve rented other campers and James is an excellent host. He responded within 10 minutes every single time, which was amazing!!

We were very comfortable in this RV and it was fully stocked with all essentials. Eric was amazing - so accessible and easy to work with. He delivered our RV in immaculate condition and checked to make sure we were set. I highly recommend Eric and his RV for your next adventure.

We had an excellent experience renting from Candy and this was a perfect sized camper for the 4 of us. The pick up and drop off was very smooth, though as a note the listing mentioned it used a 2-5/16" ball but it actually takes a 2" ball. Candy was able to help us out to ensure we could still pick it up. During the rental we did run out of propane and Candy ran over a new tank that day. I would definitely rent with Candy again.
