Most COE campgrounds are pretty nice, however I found this campground lacking. The whole time we were there the bathrooms were never cleaned, however they did replenish the toilet paper. It was quite and peaceful.

The camping area is very nicely maintained, not very crowded. Bathrooms are relatively clean. On the night we were there there was a group of people saying up to at least 2am, talking really loud all the time. The rangers did not do anything about it, not even sure if they were present.

Just visited this place last weekend- March 27, 2022. In my opinion, this is a nice family campground. We enjoyed our time relaxing in the campsite, playing in New Hogan Lake, and walking along the trails. Restroom with shower are moderately managed. I'll come back here.

Camping was great location. Water was low in the lake. Women's bathroom had only one stall to use. All bathrooms were out of toilet paper the majority of the time. Luckily we brought our own. The showers have no water pressure at all.

Reserved Acorn camp site 80. Looked good in the photos. Not so good in reality. On line description is deceiving. Parking pad is very narrow, not very level and barely long enough to accommodate a 24' rv. Step out of the rv to a significant step down to an immediate rocky incline down to the picnic table. Wife actually slipped, fell and slid bown the slope stopping between the fire pit and table.
Bottom line... probably not a bad campground overall, but the camp sites could use some work.

We have been camping at New Hogan Lake for at least 35 years. We love the distance between campgrounds and also the access to the lake from the campsites. It is also kept pretty clean, garbage is picked up often and the bathrooms are pretty clean. The rangers are also quite friendly and do patrol for cars not parked properly and noise levels, etc.
However, some of the facilities are showing wear and tear, especially the bathrooms.
