Despite cold weather for our stay, the host and fellow campers were warm and friendly. The bath house was very clean, and the shower was awesome. We appreciate the generous space for each site. As long as we have solar for power, we’ll be back.

Nice campground. The walk around the lake is approx. one mile. Great cell phone service but no antenna reception. No hookups available in the campground but water fill-up available near host's site. Dump station available at Midway campground about 5 mi east ( no charge) or at Volunteer Check Station about 5 mi west (no charge).
ut no TV antenna receptikn

I have been going to Monument Lake for 20 years camping and fishing there as well as Midway and Burns Lake. The camp hosts have always been great this time was our worst experience ever the host came up to us yelling and intoxicated we paid our money know what all the rules are. Very disappointed that the state would allow this

The campground is nicely maintained. The road when dry puts a lot of dust on the RV and tow vehicle. I’m glad you added gravel parking spots, electric would be wonderful.
