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.

We were notified in advance that we were not allowed to have camp fires - understandable. When we got there there was NO water. Understand we are in a drought, however we should have been notified of this as well. NO access to water of any kind. We would have done/packed/prepared SO differently had we known there was not going to be flush toilets', water for dishes, etc....

Nice campsites with spaces available in the summer even without a reservation. It's a short walk to the lake, where the water is very low this year. There are water shortages due to the drought and bathroom are not available.

We received notification that there was limited water at the site, but when we arrived there was actually no water at the campground. Made camping a little challenging. Then a very loud group came in in the middle of the night and was blaring music, yelling, and partying all night. They even took our kayaks out in the early morning. The next night they were a little quieter, but ran their generator all night and was still partying quite loudly, just without the music. Made for some very sleep deprived kids and parents. Super sad.

Lovely location but unable to have a fire due to the dry conditions. Also no water at the sight was pretty unpleasant. Definitely going back during a different season since the views and location was amazing. I do wish they had showers in the future for camping with a longer stay.

Beautiful area to explore. There are not many beach spots to hang out by the lake, but we had a kayak and some floats we could hang out on. The campsites are spread out and pretty good size. We had some deer come through our site which was cool to see and there was a bald eagle in the area. All in all this is a nice spot to spend a weekend.

This was a quiet campground that is heavily treed and very close to the water. And, to our surprise, in June 2022 the water levels were very high. We would definitely come back.
