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.

Excellent campgrounds. The lake level was full making these campsites super close to the water. Just a short walk down the hill and you were at the waters edge. Clean bathrooms.

we had a nice time, camphosts where great , bathrooms clean, campground quiet at nite, the only problem i saw was at the outhouse bathroom on the lower circle opposite campsite 31, 3 youngsters ages 5,6, and 2 where trying to get into a unlocked septic tank , i stopped them , told the parents and the camp hosts , it should be locked , even at this ages they could start to open it. a word to the wise is sufficient

Short walk to the lake, nice views, and quiet during the night. There’s a river nearby, it’s nice to explore the area. Also, there’s a boat ramp within 5 min driving, and the area is great to spend the day. Hosts were nice and friendly. The restroom was okay, no showers available.

The camp host made this whole trip! The new host are AMAZING! They run a clean, quiet and good camp ground. They were friendly, present and helpful. Came last year with different camp hosts and it was loud (screaming and yelling til at least 2 am almost every night).
And bonus... the water was super high this year! Right up to the tree line. We had a blast

We have been going to East Meadows campground for almost twenty years. The camp host this year was one of the best we have ever had. The bathrooms were spotless all week.

Easy to get to. The campgrounds are surrounded by lots of trees. Our site only had direct sun on it for a few hours in the late morning. The camp hosts were friendly and so were all the other campers. Lots of furry friends as well. The restrooms had flushing toilets and were well maintained. Just remember to bring your light. Lots of trails down to the water. And the reservoir was a perfect size. Few boats waterskiing but still felt safe for our kids on paddle boards and kayaks.
