Nice campground with lot of room, the showers were free, however they had very low pressure but they were still warm. There is an island of geese in the middle of the lake and they are very loud almost all day, but eventually your mind will drown them out.

Always a great time at Acorn camp! Site 14 great for combining with neighboring site for large groups and easy short walk to the lake.

First pulled in and there was someone setting up in our spot. After talking to them and they didn’t even have a spot in the camp they packed up and left.
Once we started setting up the people in the spot next to us set up right behind us near our fire pit.
It was definitely a different experience there this time!

Very clean site. Nice fire pits with grills over them which I used to put my cast iron on. Tons of birds all day long. It's not mountain camping but it was cool to just be somewhere else. Lake was nothing special but looked good for boating and maybe fishing. The only people I talked to there were homeless but seemed ok. They just move from site to site. Alot of dogs.

Campers with garbage and stuff scattered all over, and running loud generators from 8 am to 10 pm. No enforcement of rules. What happened?

Beautiful campground. But the bathroom near my site (41) was pretty gross.
