Reservation website, recreation.gov, does not make it clear which sites have hookup's and which do not. Very few sites have water & sewer hookups. campground is far from civilization which makes it quiet, but not easy to find groceries, etc. We have stayed at Dam West several times which is MUCH better. We probably will not stay at Coles Creek again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great campground on Carlyle Lake. We had a wonderful lakefront spot with great fishing. Not much around the lake to do, but if you are a water lover or fisherman, this is a great campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We really enjoyed the full hookup site that we had. The park's sites were a nice size and we felt like we had our own space. The campground was completely full but we still found it to be quiet and peaceful. This was a weekend trip for just my wife and I (No kids). It might have been a bit boring for our kids (teens) but my wife and I will definitely be going back as soon as we can get a site. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful COE park, lots of shade and very spacious sites. Not much in town, new Walmart and a couple of restaurants. There are a lot of areas for walking and biking and plenty of space for dogs. Only downside is that the park, especially near the lake, can be very wet. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice COE park and even in October it was crowded with mostly retirees. It reminded us of a small village with lots of walkers, camp fires, Halloween decorations, party lights, etc. We used our Senior pass. We had a back-in site which was somewhat challenging for a 42' motorhome. Our site (#83) was quite unlevel and required blocks of wood to reach correction. There were lots of trees, but surprisingly the Dish worked! The sites are gravel with a picnic table, grill and fire ring. Roads are paved. Very good for dog walking. We truly enjoyed our three days. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground sites were very small. I have a 31 foot motorhome, we could not put up our awning due to a tree in the way. My slideout was about 1 to 2 inches from another tree on other side. The water & electric hook up was on other side of camper so we had to get out a garden hose for water. They had a very nice pool. The office/store closed by 3pm most time sooner than that. There was a pond with no fish in it one of the permanents said he there was fish in there but he had not seen anyone pull any out in a long time. Carlyle lake is near by its a huge man made lake looks like a smaller lake Michigan. There are lots of water things to do there. The campground was loud at night because cars and trucks. All in all this was a no thrills campground I would not drive out of my way to stay here. Lake Carlyle cool, Hickory shores resort not cool. We will not be going back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very pretty camp with lots of shade trees. The big draw back is it's distance from main highways. Park needs some restoration. They did have WiFi but the modem broke and they did not repair or replace it. I was directed to a site which was a nice choice but narrow on a winding road. The manager did not follow me or show me the site or help with my backing up. I was traveling alone so had to get in and out of the truck to check distances and obstructions. They need a lesson in park management. I just stayed over night and left the next day instead of staying longer. Park was empty except for two of us. Getting out of the site next day was fun due to the close confines and 360 degree tight turn to exit the area. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

With all the amenities and a great staff, this is a wonderful campground to stay at. With a little TLC this has the pontential to be a top notch place - then I would rate it a 10. We camped here in a camper.
