People sneak in at night without paying and are very loud. Not sure if we'll be back. Left a day early because of this.

We had difficulty finding our camp site #49, it was not labeled and neither were the group of sites that ours was in! However after working out the noise of our kind neighbors loud generator we had a nice two night visit. We would like to come back again when the lake has ample water in it.

My stay was very relaxing and the walks on trails and around other campgrounds were very nice, been there many times and will do again, wish all sites would be open year-round, weekends can get very crowded in winter and very noisy with some playing a variety of music extremely loud.

Male bathrooms could have used a cleaning.

Beautiful campus, friendly staff, however there was no shade at the site we had. We went in June and it was way too hot.

Campsite 39 is level for a tent, parking spot is on a 5% slope and that is probably the steepest I saw. Quiet place but was mostly empty when I was there despite most of it being reserved. I would stay there again.

The "pull through" site reserved for RV was actually a TENT site as the "ranger" told us, it was too short and narrow for our 5th wheel, so we needed to move to another site the next day.

Stayed in site 101. Was small for rv (mine is 25ft) but doable. Lower sitting area was great with a great view of water. I looked at site 102 and the one next to it those would be to steep for rv parking. My trip was last week in September so very quite and not many campers.

We enjoy New Hogan Lake. Water level was low but it is a peaceful place.
Although we only camp on weekdays.
