Excellent facilities, heated bathrooms with hot water showers available during December which is always appreciated. Campgrounds are quiet and private but is situated next to a road so there was the occasional traffic noise.

This was my fourth time camping at McCully. It was beautiful as always. The bathrooms were clean. The firewood is neatly stacked in cartable sacks. It was a very serene visit.

Beautiful location. It was pretty cold and we were the only folks out there but they made sure they kept the firewood stocked for us. The fishing was fun as well! We already plan on returning sometime in the Spring.

Good and calm area! It was full of autumnal vibes in there. But the shower room wasn't as clean as I expected. Also, you can see a lot of vehicles passing near site 3. I recommend you bring your own firewood.

Nice spot. Clear directions. Bathrooms are pretty good but a decent hike from the sites. The pond site and levee site are fairly close together and the other site had 7 cars and a dozen people which was unexpected. They were nice folks but kinda loud until almost midnight which is way past quiet hours. I pointed this out to our hosts the next day and got no response. We still enjoyed our stay overall.
