The trash bin was not bear-proof. The door stop on the bathroom doors were missing. The outside sink on the bathroom did not drain properly. There was a continuous leak in the water supply in the street/valve in front of the bathroom.
The bathrooms were cleaned regularly. The host was pleasant and attentive.

Love this campsite! Our camp host were Sandy and Steve. They were super friendly and wonderful. They informed us of the wildlife around the area and especially the bear that likes to go dumpster diving if the trash in isn’t latched. The campground was super clean especially the restrooms. Would definitely come back!

This campsite has a beautiful view of the lake. So it was very nice to be near water. Definitely would stay here again.

This is a great campground. It's close to the water. Unfortunately, it's also full of oversized and loud groups on the weekends partying into the AM hours. One of the double sites had two dozen campers and fourteen tents. Another neighboring single site had ten campers, and they used the water spigot as their personal bath, shower, and dishwashing area. I'll return, but only during weekdays.

College campground was awesome! The views are beautiful especially the view of the lake from site 005. The campground is only 10 sites big, so it feels small and secluded. The water was pretty cold, but dipped our feet in and got acclimated within a few minutes. Nights were chilly, so bring a warm sleeping bag. But in the meantime, stay warm by the campfire!

Bathrooms were surprisingly cleaner than expected! Overall, the campground was well taken care of.

We are a family of 24 people and we reserved 4 campsites the first week of June. This was our first time here and we absolutely loved it. The camp host were awesome; they came around multiple times to make sure the flushing bathroom were clean. There was faucet water nearby the campsite so it made cleaning dishes, self, etc so much easier. Huntington Lake was amazing! There is a little sandy spot that the kids were able to go in for a quick swim. We’ll definitely reserve this place again next summer.
