Truly one of the nicest parks I've stayed at! Water views (access) everywhere, clean bathrooms and pleasant neighbors that aren't on top of you. Will make this the only place I stay when in Mt Ida!

Awesum camping trip 4 us . Just note host are volunteer host so may not b available 2 ur needs if any = no one was at the gate 2 check in or out . Never met them seen them on golf cart putting out tags. Campground seems 2 b well maintained - dump station was fairly easy access- all the campers in our area observed and respected the quiet times. Restaurant within 3 miles but did not go there

My husband is somewhat disabled making the drop off from many of the pads to the ground dangerous! Please try to add gravel/dirt to even these out. Maybe a few a year. We love our time at Tompkins Bend.
