What Guests Are Saying
East Meadow Campground offers a beautiful and peaceful location with well-maintained sites and easy access to the lake, making it ideal for swimming and paddle boarding. However, recent issues with water availability and restroom closures have impacted the overall experience, along with concerns about noise and site management due to the absence of a camp host. While many campers appreciate the campground's charm and atmosphere, consistent maintenance and communication about amenities are needed for improvement.

Beautiful place to camp. Site are spacious and most have views of the lake. A bit of a rough drive in as the road had some serious pot holes but taking that part of the drive slow aloud for taking in some very pretty sites.
