Sawnee is a small but beautiful campground. My only complaint was the Dump Station. There is a sign next to the only faucet for flushing the black tank that says you are not supposed to use it for flushing the black tank. The unwritten rule is to ignore the written rule. I'll remember to do this after my next visit.

Beautiful site; not for inexperienced RV drivers. Our site was back-in, with curve, trees and 3 other sites to navigate around. We are experienced and was complimented on our ability to back in. Definately not for newbies. But it is beautiful and with comfortable sites. Very hilly, everything was up-hill (at least, one way.)

We had multiple bad experiences with the gate guy. The most important one was, we pulled in on our second day and asked him if we can have a friend over for dinner. He said it would be no problem just $500 dollars on your bill. I laughed it off. Then, our friend came by and he wasn’t letting her in. It took 20 minutes for her to get past the gate. Poor customer service!

Beautiful campground. Clean, level, spacious sites. Grounds are very hilly so backing into some sites can be challenging. Facilities were very clean but a bit dated. Stayed for three nights but plan on staying longer in the future.

Beautiful campgrounds with the lake visible all around you. Fellow campers were friendly, quiet, and kept to themselves. Staff were friendly and readily available. Campsites are spacious and bathroom facilities were clean. We stayed in site 30, which is next to the restrooms.

Our location #40 was directly near the water and my family and I had the perfect camping and fishing experience, along with perfect views and sounds of nature. The bathrooms were clean and the shower was awesome and the water pressure was perfect, I had great showers in the morning. There was also a bike trail in case we wanted to ride bikes. I absolutely LOVED IT! I ALSO LOVE THE HOSTS AT THE GATE. THEY ARE ALWAYS SO KIND AND ACCOMMODATING. GOD BLESS THEM.
