We frequently visit Old Post and the hosts are great. The bathrooms cleans. Our only complaint is last few times we camped the grounds not mowed. We stayed several days and several day window to mow before next rain. The tall grass made it seem like the bugs chased you In at night.

The check in could only be done online. The camp host, who was very nice, just stood there watching me make the reservation online on my phone.
I broke up camp at 10 pm because I could not stand the noise (from the dam?) And the stench from what I think is a paper factory.
