What Guests Are Saying
Ackerman Campground offers a beautiful and spacious setting with clean bathrooms and attentive hosts, making for a pleasant stay. The campground is quiet, with wildlife sightings adding to the charm, although some may find traffic noise from I-5 disruptive. While the water is cold and accessing the lake can be challenging, many guests express their satisfaction and plan to return.

While there little privacy there were very few people camping at the time. Plenty of wildlife to look for and listen too. I would def go back and bring a kayak to explore further

Bathrooms didn't have fully working faucets. Many crying babies. Water was freezing cold (good for fish not humans). Not much to do here.

Was just okay. Bathroom was clean but the toilet was broken and never stopped flushing no matter how many times you jiggled the handle. The host/camp manager got our length of stay wrong on our sign. Had a nice view of the lake (which is more like a wide river-strong current) but it was not easily accessible.

I love this campground! Right next to the lake. You can start at the top by the dam and float all the way down. It's amazing. The spots are beautiful.
