Really enjoyed this campground. It's well kept and quite peaceful. No swim beach so choose one of the other campgrounds nearby if you want to get in the water. Only complaint is that they don't have trail maps at the campground and you have to drive to location on the other side of the lake to get them.

A COE campground that rates above the rest. From clean camp sites and bathrooms to the scenery and Campground Hosts, Boulder is a safe and family friendly place to retreat and relax. The Campground is nicely positioned on a Inlet skirting Carlyle Lake with Marina access, fish cleaning stations and plenty of parking for tow vehicles and trailers just right outside the campground but still within walking distance from your campsite. The majority of sites are shaded with water views and have only electrical hook-up for both 30 and 50 amp service. Although there is a handfull of Full Hook-up sites, there is plenty of water points to fill tanks prior to setting up your campsite. If you chose to conserve your water for a long weekend, the shower houses and restroom points are cleaned twice daily and always stocked. As for availability, be sure to check the Army Corp of Engineers website because this campground has both Reservable and First Come First Serve sites.
