The camp hosts at William Kent Campground are excellent. They step up to the call at all hours when a bear enters the campground and bravely chase the bear with the golf cart. The restrooms are kept clean. They deal with campers that violate quiet hours. Excellent team!

I had a great time camping here. The host was very kind and welcoming. We had an encounter with a bear. It was very docile but we still kept distance. Highly recommend this sight to anyone!!!

NIce place to camp if a bit closed in by neighborhoods and the highway. Be sure to follow the guidelines for co-existing with bears, they are around.
