motorcycles, off road vehicles speeding through camp all day and night and the campground host did not call the sheriff as they are not allowed in camp...dust was out of control as a result and the noise was terrible. swimmers in lake that is intended for fishing, thus making fishing in such a small lake impossible. quiet times were not observed and enforced by campground host, and the supposedly quiet campground turned into a party. a significant amount of cannibis smell coming from camps, including host.

Fishing poor to bad with people using the lake for other than fishing activities making fishing and casting very hard...small and crowded lake....very dusty roads with cars, atv, jeeps speeding thru campground with no control stirring up even more dust... should put chipped wood/much on entry exit road to help with dust. campers not observing quiet time with loud partying going on, and no campground host intervention. allot of cannabis smell coming from Host site which is probably why there was no crowd/noise control at night. inconsistent fire pit control. campsites not cleaned before arrived....large quantities of cigarettes left at sites

Great campsite. Great host.

The only thing I'd recommend is to maybe trim back the branches/foliage a little better along the main campground loops/roads for when RVs are driving through trying to get to their sites. Very tight in some spots.

Otherwise, an amazing stay.

Last year, and this year, I noticed that there is little accuracy in updates in campsite availability, or even the names posted on reserved sites. Our fly fishing club had 20 members on its trip, and several stayed in sites they had reserved but were marked with names of other people. This is evidence that Recreation.gov is not accurately updating the campground host with reservation information.

Some of our group had asked to move sites and the host graciously accommodated us as best he could, but he reminded us that he could not guarantee a site’s availability since communication from the local office was so poor. If I have not experienced first hand the same problem last year, I might have thought he was making up a story.

C’mon, Recreation.gov! Get some professionalism back in the game!

New host was nice but did not inforce loud music or generator usage, also drove around in golf cart to fast causing excess dust. Otherwise a very pleasant time.

Great location. Clean facilities. Some inconsiderate campers starting their generators at four in the morning.
Not much social distancing in some groups.
Looking forward to my trip there next year.

Great experience in campground. clean and well attended to. However, since lakes were not being stocked - fishing was worst in the last 30 years we have been coming to Trumbull.
