This is a beautiful campground, with the cleanest pit toilets ever. The camp host was great! It is not on the water of Turquoise Lake, but not far.

The camp host was super nice. Most of our neighbors at the camp site were nice too! The facility was well managed and clean. Location was great, and the trees provided great shade throughout the day. I am super pleased with the campground itself, and the camp staff.
My only complaint is that there was a larger group that could be heard throughout the entire campground cursing and screaming profanity incessantly. I know you don't have much control over that, but there were a lot of children, including my own, that didn't need to be around that. not a deal breaker, but totally inappropriate.

Camp hosts were top-notch. Pit toilets were very clean. Nice wooded, spaced-out camp sites. Looking forward to coming again!

I love this place so much. So quiet and peaceful and an easy walk to the lake. The camp host is fantastic and we go back every year!

Love walking down to the lake from the campground. The camp host Martha was very nice. The pit toilets were clean and well stocked with TP. It is a quiet campground with well separated sites. Loads of mature trees within the campground and down around the lake.

We have camped at Father Dyer for many years. We can get to the lake easily and we loved being in the trees. Marsha, the host, is wonderful. She is very nice and makes sure that people follow the rules. The bathrooms are always very clean. Our kids love to go to town and down to the lake.

Very nice campsites spaced apart so you don’t feel you’re in a crowd. Plentiful trash bins and clean restrooms. Also, easy access to the lake.
