Caesar Creek State Park Campground Check In Sta

Let me start off by saying that I would definitely return. However, there are a few cons…
1. They called me the day before I was to arrive and said my reserved site didn’t have electric anymore but I could transfer to a different site upon arrival.
2. I get there and was told to look around and pick a few I was interested in and come back to check in. I picked 6, they were all taken so ended up with what the gave me. Bad idea… it was right next to a «trail» that led to another loop which was right by the basketball goals. So I heard basketball playing the entire time and people constantly, randomly all hours of day walking thru my site!
3. No water at the site which I knew ahead of time but I walked down to the shower house to use the water fountain I saw out front… it was broken.
4. Shower house (near site 258) was pitiful and dirty. Showers didn’t have any benches or hooks to hang stuff on so I had to hang over the door which didn’t close (sorry for the show anyone got).
5. No real, easy access to lake from the site, you have to drive about 20 minutes to get to the beach.
6. The campsite store was out of wood so I had to go down the road to pay $ 10 for a small stack.
7. The beach was full of geese and poop everywhere!
Pros…
1. Lots of activities to do within 30 minute drive. hiking, fishing, swimming, sightseeing, boating, etc.
2. People were very nice at the campground. The place was clean.
3. Very dog friendly area
4. They didn’t charge like some places do to get into the beach.
5. You can access the lake thru some crude trails from the campground for sunset/​sunrise viewing.

I was looking for hiking trails along the shores but there is no established trails here. There are some short improvised trails made by the campers. So poor for hikers. I asked about trails and the person on duty did not know of any.
On the camping side: there are very nice paved and grassy loops that seem great for campers and tents.
It looks like (did not ask) that they can be reserved and there is a fee.
Boating ramp is provided on a large lake. Water level was quite low this month and it would take some finesse launching.
