Can anyone refute the reviews and recommend this place as being safe and clean to camp and use the facilities?

I will refute those Yelp reviews. Pleasure Cove is a nice campground with clean facilities. And the late-March timing should mean less lake lice and general punks.

Its early enough in the season that it should be a nice, clean, family-oriented place still. If it were in July, well ...

Let me clarify, the place should be relatively free of boneheads and debauchery prior to the everyone arriving. All bets are off after that !  :smt044

I called.  Gate normally opens at 8am, sometimes as early as 7:45am.  However, the person I spoke to, April, said that the tournament director can make arrangements for an earlier opening time. 
(probably be an additional expense for that?)

I would imagine 5am would allow enough time for folks just coming for the day. 

But this brings up another question;

If one does plan to camp the night before, what time does the gate close if it's not normally open until 8am?  That would be a bummer to head up after work, arrive, say, after 10pm and the gate is closed until the next morning. 

This was/has never been a problem in the pass. The gate I believe has a gate code too, and like last time, will pass out to everyone who is coming late or early morning. More info. on exact closing/opening times will come when were more near

I camped there Friday night and there was a line of bass boats driving in very early. I don't know if they had the combo to the gate lock or someone opened it for them. Do we know what our gate hours will be yet?
