My only complaint was I didn't get to stay longer! Excellent campgrounds, very clean. Showers are clean and hot. Camp host was helpful and very friendly. The lake is crystal clear, it was a little cold for swimming, but a kayak float in the morning sun was wonderful. I will be back in the very near future.

Wonderful, quiet, well treed, beautiful pond, warm showers, clean. NOTE, some GPS will take you thru the National Forest, many miles. The park is only 2 mi east of state highway 12 South of Bristol. That 2 mi is a solid road. Have fun

Small but beautiful campground in a large forested area. Huge campsites, very quiet. Some have water and electric some are dry camping. Pretty lake for fishing etc.

It wasn't posted that the gates to enter the campground close. I recommend adding that to the registration email.
I tried checking online but couldn't find any hours.
So unfortunately I didn't get to stay there. Looks lovely though!

Pleasant location in the forest, with a nice beach at a small attractive lake. Campground is nicely laid out and the campsites are spacious. Nice hosts. Only a few of the sites have hookups, and a side effect of that is that quite a few of the campers used generators, making the overall feeling rather noisy. The location is rather far off the beaten path, so getting to other attractions and even getting propane requires long trips.

The campground itself is excellent! The road really sucks. Hard to understand why because a newer John Deere road grader is just sitting at the campground rusting away.

Great place Nice and quiet as a campground should be. Not full of RVs with their party lights on all night and their plastic palm trees. Beautiful sky, able to see the stars clearly, nice lake with a path all around it. Well kept, friendly hosts. Very nice.

Terrible experience - I had to cancel and was told I would not receive a refund under ANY circumstances. I will tell everybody I know about this and boycott the entire organization
