We stayed at College consecutive Thursdays in June. The bathrooms at College are amazing -- clean and well maintained. Our campsite, however, was found strewn with trash both times; not cleaned or prepared prior to our arrival either time (the reservation placard was still written for the previous occupant who had left several days earlier, so not sure a host had even been through the sites in days). The BBQ grills in our double site were broken off of both fire pits. Despite the unfortunate trash situation, College is a great place to camp.

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.

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.

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.
