The park service called us to say they canceled our reservation to McKinney this weekend. They said the lake water level is too close to the campsites.
The lake was so low this past summer and now the lake is too full.

What a bummer. :'( You must have had one of the lower sites. Here is the link for the high lake levels and the campgrounds/sites affected. You could go to Redtop if they have anything open. We like McKinney better, but it beats camp backyard.

WOW! The sites we usually get for the rally is being threatened by water! Site 125 was probably 30ft or more from the waters edge during the Spring rally. I hope it stays at a normal level for the Fall rally. Maybe you guys can find somewhere else to go.

Sorry your outing to McKinney was cancelled, but it's amazing the levels we saw going across the Hwy. 41 bridge Tuesday. The lake has been down low for so long and we really needed the rain, but the levels should be back to "normal" soon - we hope. Also hope you found another nice CG. We'll be up in Fort Payne next weekend!
