Concerns of too many bears. Apparently there had been sightings every evening so that took a little pleasure out of our camping trip

Enjoyed the campground but was a little put off on the parking rules eg: my brother who had a spot ad couldn’t walk was not able to just park at my spot for a little bit without paying extra even though I only had my tv in the spot

We reserved two campsites for our group camping trip. One of the sites was on a hill so most folks wanted to stay at the site that was located on a flat area. The camp host told us if we didn’t camp at one of the sites than we would lose it, even if we paid for it and reserved it. Absolutely made no sense. Then the folks camping next to us were blasting Lord Huron all night… not like a cycle of their songs, just the same two songs over and over again. We went to bed around 11 and people were screaming at another camp site until 1 and the lord Huron folks set their Tesla truck off 3 times at 3 in the morning. This was the noisiest most annoying campground we have stayed at by far. I would pick somewhere else before I came back here. To top it off, when we awoke in the morning, the Tesla truck folks blasted Lord Huron again at 8 in the friggin morning.

Site 27 has excellent water access, but also meant other campers were going through the site. Flat options for tents were limited. They were having water issues the weekend we were there, so no potable water available. They had bottled water for free or directed us to a nearby campground to fill containers. No bear lockers available, but apparently there was bear activity so we had to stash food in our cars under a blanket. No issues there.

All I can say is Recreation.gov is horrible! I needed to switch campsites and with the full approval of the camp host but Recreation.gov stole my payment!

Really liked the campsite and proximity to the lake but having no bear boxes and bears in the campsite every night was not ideal.
