GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 400 ft.

The campground has four loops named A, B, C, and D and is located on 
the rolling hillsides surrounding Lake Sinclair.  Sites are tucked into 
a mixed forest including Popular, Red oak, Loblolly pine, hickory and 
Sweet gum trees providing ample shade.  The whole campground has a 
rustic wilderness feel.  Loop C has group camping and is not included 
in this survey.  Loop A is a small five-site loop.  The interior road 
and campsite parking aprons are gravel and this loop has the campground's 
only electric and water hookups.  The parking aprons in Loop B (closed 
at the time for the authors's visit) were poorly defined, eroded and had 
low branches which could be a hazard for RVs.  Some of the sites on this 
loop had a pleasant view of Lake Sinclair.  The camp sites in Loop A are 
the best maintained and have great views of the lake but some of the parking 
aprons are steep, possibly a challenge for some RVs.  All the sites have 
lantern poles and pedestal grilles.  There is an amphitheater but no 
interpretive programs offered.
