Conveniently situated just off Cullman County Road 222, our campsite is within a quarter mile of two gas stations, two independently owned stores offering short-order food options, and a Dollar General.

The water level varies throughout the year, usually reaching full-pool from April to July before gradually decreasing for the autumn and winter seasons.
