Family and i loved this campground! It was our first time camping and we couldnt have picked a better place. The lake was beautiful! The area in general was great. We will be back again next year!

Little Beaver Campground provided a stunning backdrop for our three-night stay in late July. The spacious sites, accommodating up to two vehicles each, were perfect for our group of six. The campground offers a parking lot for extra vehicles, if needed. We comfortably fit two tents and a canopy on site 44. The provided food storage boxes were essential for keeping wildlife at bay.
While the campground boasts beautiful scenery, we were surprised by the chilly nights, even in July. The well-maintained bathrooms with flushing toilets and hand-washing sinks with mirrors were a pleasant surprise. Although there was a notice about bacteria in the drinking water, we decided to use it, and had no issue.
The lake was a short, slightly uphill, walk away. While there was no beach nearby, the lake itself was clean and inviting. We enjoyed swimming and watching the breathtaking sunsets. The campground also offers an easy and rewarding hiking trail through diverse natural surroundings. (Maybe around 5 miles)
Unfortunately, the campground's campfire ban was a disappointment. While propane alternatives were permitted, it was a less-than-ideal substitute for a traditional campfire experience.
Despite this minor setback, Little Beaver Campground offers exceptional value for its stunning scenery and comfortable amenities. We highly recommend it for a peaceful getaway.
(I deducted one star primarily due to the somewhat longer walk to the lake, lack of beaches, and campfire ban.)

Restrooms
This campground offers restrooms that have flushing toilets, sinks for hand washing, and mirrors. Each restroom (split into men and women) has two stalls.
P.S. If you could light up the restrooms at night that would be great because our friend got lost multiple times trying to find the restrooms at night.

We visited Little Beaver Loop B for 4 nights and rented a trailer for our visit. The driveways were very small so thankfully my husband is good at parking. There are many down trees and brush that are not only fire hazards, but not appealing to look at either. They need a crew to come clean up before they open up a new campground to the public. The waterfront was okay, very rocky, but the water was nice. Prob won’t return but I liked the area.

Toilet paper ran out, despite a ranger walking around 2 days before.
Wasn't sure if water was potable or not.

There was no camp host. There was a rowdy group that took up four campsites.
They partied late into the night. We didn’t feel comfortable and ended up leaving a day early. The campground was full of litter and was still a mess from the winter storms. Probably won’t camp there again!
