No shade at many camp sites, and very difficult to turn around with travel trailers.

Site #27 - Beautiful site. Close to the lake and beach. Lots of shade just great for sunset and moon rising. Kind of odd that it is designed to face away from the lake when pulling a trailer and you are facing the fronts of the other campers on the hill that DO face the lake. Had to level a lot more than normal on the site. Added 3 blocks on one side, usually we only have to use 1 or 2. For some reason we must have attracted every small yappy dog that was in the campsite. It was very annoying and tent campers must have been deaf to it. We were very patient, only gave them a few looks after the dogs had been barking constantly for 20-30 minutes. They did finally cover their cage with a towel. Kind of sad to see the dogs in cages and not on a leash to enjoy the outdoors. The next campers had another yappy dog. but they did keep it under control. We were camping with friends that have 2 labs, which are very well behaved. Then the clean out. WOW - This is so old. Wasn't forewarned about it this ancient method. There is no water hook up to clean out the black tank, only a hose with a brass nozzle tube. There was no fresh water at the dump at all. There was a water spigot at the end of the parking lot, which we presumed was fresh water, but it did not work. It would have been nice to know so we could have filled our freshwater tank before leaving and disconnecting at the campsite. I'm not sure how others do a clean out of their black tank, but we have sprayers in ours that clean it, so we don't have a lot of residue. Not being able to do this caused us concern, as we always flush our tanks. ALWAYS. We made it work even though we were totally soaked by the time we were done. This information should be on your website. If it is, it was not very up front. Just knowing ahead of time we would have been able to plan and be prepared. Beaver Lake is known for it's beautifully clean waters and that did not disappoint.

It’s an okay campground. Staff was friendly at checkin. Some unneighborly guy ran his huge gas generator all night.

We had a major issue with our site we reserved! The site we reserved was sufficient for our camper and set up (length, width, and pictures provided). We drove 4.5 hours and were super excited as we arrived. Unfortunately when we got to our spot, it was next to impossible to get our fifth wheel to the actual spot. If the spots across from us had been full, we would not have been able to. Once we finally maneuvered our camper in, the hosts came to tell us one of the nicest/easiest spots opened up. This was great news and we willingly moved. Leaving was just as hard as entering. We attempted to pull up the hill and turn to follow the one way road. We had to stop once I damaged my tow vehicle due to the incline and sharp turn. It would be beneficial if the website warned of the extremely difficult sites to reach. Larger campers cannot access these sites and there is now way to know this when reserving due to a lack of provided information!
