It was a great campsite. We went with our church group. I just wish there was an easier way to reserve sites when you have a large group of people.

We had a wonderful time at site 6. The view is amazing! We were able to walk over the hill, down the side, and across a dirt road to get to the lake. All sites are close, but far enough apart for personal space.

The toilets didn't get cleaned or restocked for 2 days. Probably because of the cut backs.

If you enjoy the sound of birds chirping and the of the rustling of the wind through the trees, then White Star is NOT the campground for you.

However, if you like to listen to the non-stop droning of generators at all hours of the day, then this is the place you want to be!

I've been coming to White Star for many years, and just in the past couple of seasons, it's been filled with inconsiderate "campers" who can't live without their big screen TVs, internet, and microwaves and insist on running their generators practically non-stop. Do us all a favor and just stay home!

Very nice campgrounds at White Star. All of the sites looked great. Some had more shade than others. Beautiful views.

We stayed at the Valley Campground and found the sites to be with adequate tree shade and far apart to be semi private.

This was our second year of hosting a family reiunion at White Star and we absolutely love this place. Spacious camp sites with great views and easy walking distance to the lake for stand up paddle boarding. The camp hosts are incredibly helpful and friendly too. We will be back.
