One bathroom facility for 51 camp sites. Bathroom was filthy. Camp site was on the side of a hill. No level ground for a tent. Had to sleep in truck for three nights because of the constant wind and rain. Terrible experience. Would never go back to this camp site again.

The camping sites are too close together. The bathroom ran out of toilet paper. Good thing we had some. Other than that we like this campground.

We had one of the best unobstructed views of Mount Magazine from our campsite along with a good view of Blue Mountain Lake. We had a very pleasant 3-day stay. Everything was clean and well kept. We will be back again soon! There are quite a few cozy camp sites for travel trailers or tents nestled in the woods of the peninsula where we were. Also, there is a nice beach on the south side of the park. I would recommend this camping area to any one.
