The water level is too high because of recent storm. The ramp was completely flooded and in some places parking spaces are completely submerged in water.

A wonderful group camping location on the lake....very spacious and cared for... Staff are responsive and understanding... Water pressure on site is plentiful... Views from the campsite are what we hoped for... Unfortunately, there are planes from time to time overhead... But not bad... Bathrooms and showers are well kept and hot water is plentiful... We will definitely be rebooking again...

This was my first time here. It's a beautiful spot! It's a very big area, and was also very clean. There was a nice playground area for kids, nice bathrooms, and even a pretty area for camping. It is definitely a great place to relax.

Really lovely campsites on Jordan Lake. We didn't have direct access to the water, but could have selected a site closer to the water if I wanted to. This time of year, the bathrooms are locked during the week (which was on the posted info but we didn't really pay attention so it was a bit of surprise for us). We love car & tent camping. Loved the clean and freely available bathhouse. Good privacy this time of year. My only word of warning: be prepared to be "inside" of wherever you are sleeping when the sun sets. The yellow flies and other flying bugs came out and were relentless, even with our tried and true thermocell. It's not unexpected being out in the wilderness, but should be known in advance. We will ABSOLUTELY be back for a longer stay next time!

Beautiful camping. Very large campground. Easy in and out for big rigs with a tow. Great boat ramp and parking across the street from the campground.

It's a great place for a family outing, fishing,camping,They have 3 beaches. My grandkids loved it. You have to get there early in the morning,bring your food,drinks and don't forget the charcoal for the grill.

It would have taken a 5 star review, if it was not for a situation we encountered on our second night there. Around midnight on Saturday (Sunday June 2, 2023), the campers in the campsite before ours began to argue loudly, screaming and using profane language. My daughter, a minor who has special needs and could not sleep, shouted "please shut up", to be answered by foul language. We contacted the park rangers and explained that their argument had become physical, also there had been statements of a knife or the threat of stabbing. 45 minutes later, rangers showed up, as the altercation had come to an end. Aside from this, we enjoyed the park and lake, my kids love the place and we will continue to go, but do recommend as an expert in the safety/security/enforcement field, to have a better response time for volatile situations as this, as this could have turned into a life threatening situation, without the involvement of other campers, not the rangers.

Beautiful campground, lots of water to enjoy. Clean and inviting. The only complaint I have is the bathrooms and showers being separate.

Jordan Lake is a fantastic place to visit at any time of the year. With its serene atmosphere, beautiful scenery, and diverse wildlife, it's a nature lover's paradise. Whether you're hiking, fishing, or simply enjoying a picnic by the lake, there's always something new and exciting to discover. Needless to say my family and I had a blast visiting Jordan Lake this year.

Just beautiful 😍 I stayed at the Poplar Point section. The RV sites are far enough apart so as not to disturb your neighbors. Many of them double as tent sites. I was surprised to learn that they just installed 50 amp service as well⚡ Nice walking trail🥾🚶
