Staff is nice and friendly. Toilet paper did ran out of the restroom but it’s expected with the amount of people occupying the campsite. Available fire pits and nice clean campgrounds. Definitely coming back

Site 22 has an AWESOME view of the lake. Might take a couple times in order to back it in. Make sure your checks are well placed. Like the description states there is no spicket there but there is one approximately 150 ft. Away. So plan accordingly. We will back again for sure

We stood in campsite Upper 23, our spot was slightly unlevel and very sloppy. I suggest taking extra wood to level your RV or rig. The restrooms can use a little more maintenance and cleaning. Restroom stalls and the shower area had lots of spiders. This spot had very poor cellphone reception, so I had to walk away to find service. Campsites are very close to each other, with no privacy. The park was very clean of trash. Park has a spectacular view; you can catch beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Jimmy, the camp host, was very kind and helpful.

Campsites are not level, or even close to level. The campground hostess was very helpful. Internet reception was almost nonexistent. It’s an old campground. However, it is a nice campground. It just didn’t fit my needs.

Volunteer was very nice. Location of site 9 great with lake view and electricity. Only issues were water on floor of men's toilet and lack of toilet paper occasionally.

We come back to Island Park often. We love it. Only two down sides- The WIFI in this area is very weak. Sometimes in the off peak time of the year we find that our favorite site is closed. Neither of these stops us from coming back, over and over.

The park ranger didnt show up the entire time we were there, so we never got fully checked in or got our vehicle passes. The restroom next to our campsite was marked clised for the season. The group next to us at lot 46, 47, 48, and 49 (they were all together) were blasting music until 3 am with super bright camp lights. Then a group of men were fishing and walked past my family (we are black) calling each other the n word and laughing like it was funny. Ive camped here multiple times, this trip was for my son's 4th birthday. I will more than likely never go here again, the wife and I really have to talk it out.

I love this place. Very reasonably priced. Bathrooms are not great but better than nothing.
