Generally a nice campsite. Very isolated. Unfortunately, the app didn't tell us when booking that the restrooms were out of service, but it was fine for one night. We were traveling with a 21-foot RV.

First thing you do when you get here? Pay twenty bucks a night to sleep outside. No joke. We spent half the day driving around trying to find a spot that wasn’t full, and when we finally did, the ranger treated it like a hotel check-in. $20 a night for dirt and flies SO MANY FLIES.
Then a family emergency hit, and we had to leave early. I asked for a refund nothing crazy, just for the nights we didn’t stay. Over a week later, the only thing they sent me was a “please leave a review” email. So here it is.
If you’re thinking about coming here, don’t. The lake’s disgusting this time of year, the staff’s tone-deaf, and the place just isn’t worth the money or the hassle. there was only one part of the trip that I will remember and it was nowhere near the camp site a little family owned shop called "The I forget shop" if I ever go back it will only be for those sweet people, got a question about fishing they got a answer, hunting they know all about it, they know it all great people and gave us free coffee for the road.

Nice spot, away from most. Closest to the bathrooms - but still far enough where it’s not a bother. The site fit a 5 person tent. Has a regular picnic table, small tall table, pole with hooks and a fire pit.

Trimmer Campground is a calm and peaceful place with a beautiful view. AT&T service works well here, which is a big plus. It’s not the best spot for hiking or biking since there aren’t many trails, but it’s great for boating and fishing. If you’re looking for a quiet place to relax by the water, this is a good choice.
