We LOVE IT! The views are one of a kind spectacular! Roy and Faye make you feel right at home here. People who rent here have been good neighbors too. If you love getting away , grilling out, resting on beach, or by a fireplace, you will enjoy it here.

First off, I’d like to say that I have only camped once as a child and hated it. This was my first camping experience as an adult, and it was absolutely amazing!!! We could not have picked a better spot to go camping! The campgrounds and bathrooms were clean. The lake was completely crystal clear. The trails and scenery were absolutely gorgeous! From the moss to the Bald Eagles, everything was just like out of a fairytale. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The disc golf course was fun and a bit challenging. Most definitely family friendly environment. My boyfriend and I will definitely be back to Brady Mountain soon!!

The bad
#1 - There is a water treatment plant that turns on and runs in 20min intervals then turns off, rinse repeat, forever. This noise pollution can give light sleepers trouble, suggest bringing ear plugs.
#2 - Fire Ants, they were in the camp site and around the picnic bench.
#3 - Windy, one of the five days we had heavy winds 40+mph with 60 mph gusts for 16 hours non-stop. These winds make setting up a tent very difficult, be sure to secure your rain fly and stake it down taunt. Expect stakes to have a hard time going in, felt like pounding through quartz.
#4 - Facilities had plenty of hot water but ran out of soap, bring your own.
#5 - Walk-in site means hauling your gear 50 yards. There is a parking lot for vehicles and the campsites are blocked off by large boulders / pylons so you can't drive up and unload, you must carry your gear.

The Good
#1 - Beautiful location, basically have private lake access and stairs down into the water. Probably the best place to watch the sunset in the entire camp.
#2 - The water is extremely clean and cold but not frigid, I'd ballpark it at 64 degrees.
#3 - High of 84 and low of 60 meant the weather was absolutely perfect!

The only negative is the equipment in and around the end of the loop in sites 45-62. It cycles on and off throughout the day and night and makes a loud noise. Don't we come here for peace and quiet? You won't find it here in the particular area of this campground.
