Too many barking dogs. Absolutely out of control. Had to eat in the trailer to talk with each other over the barking. Called camp hosts to report a camper in our loop cut down a live tree on their site for firewood! They should have been asked to leave the park for doing that the hosts did nothing. Will not return for awhile.

Campsite was so sloped and pavement so bumpy. Rain just washed mud into the campsite.

I really enjoyed my campsite. Being right in the water was excellent. The campground was easily accessible and well marked.

We absolutely love Tompkins, loop A and B are just amazing. 20 and some of the ones beside it are some of the best sites on the lake for a tent. We have the entire summer booked and majority of it is at this campground, camper and tent. You really can’t go wrong here.
