Baby Doe is a great venue overall. At the edge of the lake, views are beautiful and it's very nice for non-motorized water activities. Good hiking opportunities are a few miles away, 20-30 min drives. However, many of the campground sites are quite awkward to access with an RV, and don't seem as long as listed on the website. Further, the lack of water and lack of a convenient dump station are negatives. Sites are reasonably well separated, but dense forest limits solar gain.

The campground is beautiful and very well run and taken care of by the campground hosts. They were very friendly, helpful and efficient. The water was shut down and we did not see any work being done on the waterlines. We sure hope that there is water next year!
