Overall, we had a great experience at College Campground. We stayed at Group Campsite #3, which had plenty of space for our group's tents and made it easy to set up comfortably. Our site felt private and offered nice access to the lake, which we really enjoyed. It does get a bit windy at times, but the weather was otherwise excellent throughout our stay.
The only downside was the restroom situation. One of the toilets was clogged for most of the weekend, and by our last day the second toilet was clogged as well. Unfortunately, no one appeared to come by to address the issue during our stay.
Despite that, the campground itself was beautiful and well-suited for groups. We'd definitely consider staying here again.

Really enjoyed our time here.
My one major complaint was the plumbing. The toilets were constantly backing up, and we repeatedly had to plunge them before my family could use them. Unfortunately, that often meant dealing with someone else’s waste, which was unpleasant. I hope you can have the sewer lines professionally snaked or inspected, as it would make a big difference for future guests.

Nice big spot, plenty of room for several tents. Close to the restroom with running water, but not too close. Nice view, nice shade. Road is a little noisy, but tolerable. Bear lockers are spacious, will fit and 3-foot-long cooler. No cell for T-Mobile, but store up the way will offers Wi-Fi.

Very small sites, and close to each other. This was by far the most I have paid for a semi-primitive campsite. (No hookups, one pit and one flush toilet with sink bathroom, no showers, no host, no recyclable cans. It is a convenient location, being walking distance to the boat launch (we were part of the sailing regatta) , and lakeshore resort, with a saloon/restaurant and general store.

The campsite was super clean and very well maintained. The bathrooms are very clean and well stocked with toilet paper. The only downside is that the map is inaccurate and the campsites are a LOT closer together than what the map shows. Also, we had to drive 45 minutes towards shaver lake for firewood, since everything nearby was sold out. Otherwise this campsite was perfect!! We definitely will be returning.

Great, small campground right on the lake with flush toilets and potable water. I wont comment on the other campers since thats not the fault of the camp thought i do wish there was a more active camp host telling people to turn down music and voices.
