We enjoyed site #6 at St Charles campground. It was right next to a small babbling brook. After a drizzly morning we drove to Bishop’s Castle nearby-a fun, quirky place. A hike around Lake Isabel wound up our 2 day visit. The campground host was friendly and informative. Clean bathrooms too.

Campground host was very friendly and helpful. Shared facilities were clean. Poor guy got bit by someone’s dog while handing them their tag. Please campers control your animals!

Campground was quiet, shady, easy to get into, and much lusher vegetation than we expected for August.

Beautiful campground right by the creek. We had two bears visit late at night. They moved on quickly because we had no food outside for them.

The only issue that detracted from a perfect camping experience was the host (Eddie) running a noisy, smelly generator every evening for a few hours. He was friendly enough & did a good job keeping the vault toilets & sites clean, but who would have thought the host would need to be told to use a quieter generator or use a sound deflector to minimise the noise.
