We love this campground, but feel it is being highly neglected thus the 3 stars instead of 5. Picnic tables need repair or replaced. Cem nt curbs at each campsite are dangeous due to being broken. Bathrooms are in need of so much repair. But... it is still my happy place.

Site 15 has extreme drop-offs from the paved slip to the native ground of the campsite. Very hazardous.

Nice campground, if you prefer shade you need to really check out each site for tree coverage as many do not have it. It is very rocky on the campground side and mostly red clay like dirt that sticks to everything. Shoes to use the lake are recommended. The lake was really cold and on the campground side there's a lot of mucky muddy algae type chunks floating around. Very gross to swim in they are mostly located towards the edges of the lake as the side seems to be used more for water vehicles. Campground was fairly quiet we did have issues with one camper running her car motor and there only seems to be one patrol per day. Take firewood yourself if you wanna have campfires. All in all it was an OK campground for the nightly rate.

The campground was clean, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. I can’t wait to plan more camping adventures in the future.

My spot number was 58, it had NO shade, DRY GRASS about 1-2 feet high all around it. The Restrooms were NOT maintained. It was NOT my best experience. I fact I had this spot for four days, but left after just two. All the best spots were already closed down for the season, why? I do not know, but Was informed of this. Thought the space I reserved would be okay, till I seen it. I like Hogan, but will not reserve a space between #1 and 58 ever again, don't recommend it at all.
