The group next to us was loud until 2 am the first night. Multiple groups were loud until 3 am the next night. The noise needs to be reigned in. Rangers were nowhere to be seen and not enforcing any semblance of order.

Campground host was very friendly and very welcoming upon arrival.
Campground was clean and well maintained. Even the spot was raked which gave it a very tidy feeling. Toilets were very clean only no lights at night, so bring your own.
Only con was there are no showers at this park, so if you need to freshen yourself up make sure you bring a portable shower or some environmental friendly soap and jump in the lake.
The William Kent Beach is a pebbles one, so water shoes are recommended.
When checking out there is a possibility to keep your vehicle parked so you can spent the full day at the lake which was very convenient.

Site #19 doesn't have any level areas. very hard on us old folks. Additionally, the paved portion of the site is in dis repair and a very difficult grade for leveling a 33-foot motorhome.
The staff are very friendly, we have stayed @ other sites in the campground and haven't had any other complaints. I recommend this site #19 be revied for upgrading.
Thank you, I hope this gets read.

The campsite was beautiful! The hosts were so sweet, very helpful with an early check in, drove around checking on the sites multiple times a day, and always keeping things very neat and tidy. The bathrooms were always clean and stocked. The lake was a 5 minute walk from our site and the William Kent beach was beautiful! It gets morning to late afternoon sun but does get full shade around 4 or 5. There is a great deli adjacent to the beach with delicious sandwiches and gelato that we loved. Plenty of options to grab and go and they also had a few one-off items campers could need but have forgotten. We utilized Sunnyside rentals on our last full day to rent a paddle board and kayak for the day and it was so worth it. We set up camp on the beach and played with our water toys from 10-6. Would absolutely revisit this campground again! Also, there is a resident bear. His name is Boo. We saw him on our second night there while we were sitting by the fire with our dog. He just walked right down the road and didnβt even look our way. Very non-aggressive as they mentioned upon check in.

The campground hosts were amazing. The lady in the office worked very hard to accommodate re booking cancelations. 10/10 for all their efforts

Good shade for many sites and easy access to grocery stores. Itβs a big loop and I was able to walk to the beach across the street within 10 minutes. No showers. Restrooms are ok however there was no light at night if you needed to go. We went in the first week of July and it was around 83 degrees in the day and 45 at night. The site I stayed at was more on a hill so the ground wasnt exactly even.
