The noise of generators from RV campers completely ruined the "in nature" experience and ambiance of this otherwise lovely, clean campground in a wooded, secluded location.

We love Dog Town Lake! We stay once or twice every year. We went mid week this year and it was quiet, only maybe 1/2 full. The restrooms are always clean and the hosts pleasant. Can't wait to go back in the fall.

We had reservations for June 21-23. Unfortunately, when we arrived on June 21st, the campground was closed, due to fires. No problem. The very nice host told us it was closed and that our money would be refunded. I went online and we were only refunded for June 22nd. I asked for a refund for June 21st, as we were not able to camp, and was refunded only $1. I am very unhappy that I did not get my full refund.
