Starkey Campground

The bathrooms were not cleaned very well at all! I’ve been going to starkeys campground since i was 5 years old! That means I’ve been going every year for the past 14 years, and the year the campgrounds were not very well kept and the bathrooms were beyond gross! Starkeys used to be the prettiest place on the lake.

Only 7 FHU sites- sites are close and our site- #3 was a pull through that was BARELY off the road. Because of placement of e/w/s we had to pull through and keep our door on street side. No awning out- and check for traffic before you step out. Also notable that picnic table and fire ring were just feet from the utilities. Fire out was FULL of ashes- clearly not having been cleaned since last campers. Half the sites sit on a hill overlooking the main drag through the park.
Old facilities and not especially clean. Playground equipment circa 1970’s

Breaking down camp- using sewer at that site was IMPOSSIBLE- as the sewer inlet was SEVERAL INCHES higher than anywhere you could position your camper in the site. You know what they say about sh*t…..it DOES NOT run UPHILL. We had to hook up and move to another site to dump. Makes ya wonder why I paid for a full hook up!?
Quiet hours not respected. Camp hosts friendly.
Beaver Lake is pretty and well used by boaters. Otherwise there is nothing to do- no trails, etc.

Would not recommend Starkey Campground.

If you like very quiet public campgrounds in a beautiful location, you will like Starkey Campground. Did not use the very basic bathrooms or showers. Paved, level sites. Picnic tables (some covered) on concrete slabs. No WiFi but excellent Verizon cell service. There are activities, including boating, available in the area, but we did not partake of those. Just walked around the small campground and along the lakeside. I would stay here again.

This campsite was OK. The site was very steep hill on door side of camper.

We enjoyed kayaking and seeing the eagle nest the attendant told us about. Nice enough place.

This campground really needs work. There was no hot water at the one tiny bath house, play ground run down and equipment missing and sites really too small for recommended size campers. Watched a few people really struggle to get their campers in spot. Over all probably one of the worst campgrounds near Beaver lake. Do not plan on going back to this one.
