Brian (Camp Hose) was FANTASTIC. He helped us with a sticky situation at Panther Bay & recommended we consider Bidwell Point instead. So glad we made that change. Site was great. Very level. Lots of squirrels for the puppies to chase. Beautiful view of the lake. Thanks again Brian

Other campers picnicking on our site when we arrived. Left their trash and poured leftover food in the drain for our water connection. Weeds were high at the site. Gravel needs to be replaced on the site. Electricity went out twice while we were there. We come here every year. This was the worst condition we’ve experienced.

I didnt know you had to book online and I felt the website should be posted alone on a window or sign.
But the camp host is great and the campground is the best on Lake Norfork.
