Weekend Trip to Sunset King Lake Resort

I never saw anyone but they were very helpful in my late check-in and left great instructions on where to go. It was clean and all the hook ups were readily available. I chose it for the location and it was a very easy in and out.

4 nights at Lake City Campground

Lake City Campground is somewhat remote & quiet - just what my husband & I were looking for. The common area bathrooms & kitchen were clean & convenient. The proximity to Lake Jackson & a few other nearby areas of interest such as Finks Mill and Andalusia were an added bonus for this location. If you’re looking for no crowds but nearby activities, then this is an ideal campground.

3 nights at Lake City Campground

The full kitchen made it perfect for a first camping trip for my littles. Just a note though, it's located next to a hunting area so the cabins had a small group of men who would go hunting during the day. All quite nice, no issues there, they did a field dressing (I think it's called that-they began preparing the meat) in the evenings after their hunting trip, for us, we used it as an education experience on where meat comes from. I can, however, understand how someone might have wanted to know that was a possibility before booking. So just an FYI on that. All in all a great experience though.
