What Guests Are Saying

Bushytail is praised for its beautiful setting and quiet atmosphere, making it a great spot for camping with family and friends. Many reviews highlight the cleanliness of the bathrooms and the proximity to the lake, contributing to an overall enjoyable experience. However, concerns were raised about overflowing trash, noise from large groups, and issues with shower facilities, which detracted from some visitors' stays.

great campground - amazing host - very quaint & quite crowd with great space & firewood
spotty/ voice only coverage for Verizon & ATT.
Clean restrooms. The host was kind enough to have us use the available open spot that was reserved by someone but never showed up.
Note: Campsite no. 12 is NOT FF; it's where the camphost host lives :)

lots of trees - easy access to a clean restroom & clean showers ($5 cash paid in envelopes)
Voice only coverage for Vzw & ATT - no Data
