Frenchman

bathrooms clean

Beautiful campground with lots of shade.

Steep entry into space and my auto levelers had trouble. We were in space 6, but it’s a large space and we didn’t feel like we were right on top of our neighbors.

Beautiful mountain lake.

Stayed at Frenchmans campground by the lake and we had a great time! It's Beautiful their! The site was clean and the Hosts were knowledgeable and funny!! Will definitely go camping at Frenchmans campground again.

Great lake for recreation. the camping options are ample and well set up.

The sites all sit on a slope so if you’re tent camping be prepared not sleep well. Our friends that were with us sleep with a cpap and they harassed us about the super quiet generator being on. All while the party down from us were partying until 3 am. Or the dogs barking all day and night. Make it make sense! But there’s lots of super cute chipmunks that just play all day and are so fun to watch. The lake is right there which was nice to walk down to and jump in to cool off. Absolutely no cell service so it was a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of life.

The restrooms are clean and well stocked. About the best you can have for pit toilets. Camp hosts are available and helpful.

The campsites at Frenchman Campground. The mostly back in sites have smallish paved area so you cannot put a table out next to your trailer or RV. So for most sites you either walk up or down to the area which has the picnic table and fire pit. This area is bigger but not level. Dusty due to lots of foot traffic.

Site 36 is adjacent to the lake, has good views and large spot. The lake is beautiful and never felt crowded. However the entire site is on a hill. There were not flat spots quite large enough for a 4p tent. Also the picnic bench and fire ring area are on the same hill so all sitting areas are uneven. Camp bathroom was kept very clean. However I wish the host would have enforced quiet hours more. Our neighbors were yelling and partying well past 1:30 am.

Yellow jackets everywhere. The population was out of control. Its not like we saw a few, there were swarms at the dock and all over the shore. The campsite host was cold and rude. Curfew was not enforced. There was loud music, loud talking and flashing lights well past 11pm.

* Frenchman Campsite#23 and Campsite#24 share a common paved area for vehicles. They should be merged into a single "double" campsite. This past Memorial Day weekend, Campsite#24 at one time was occupied by more than 15 people. I hesitate to imagine the pandemonium had our campsite#23 (party of 2) been likewise populated.
* Please consider making areas of your campgrounds designated as "no generator" areas. RV's = fine, just "no generators".
* Please consider making "Generator Use" hours more specific. - Perhaps 08:00-10:00 and 17:00-21:00
