Sawnee

Great place to camp with family

Even it's a RV camp site, it's perfect for tent camping. The site was clean when we arrived. Though there are so many RV camped here, everyone was friendly toward each other.
The site itself does not have trails, but there are many hiking trails nearby.
We drove to the nearby trails and had a wonderful hike.
I especially love the convenience of the nearby power and water.
The camp site was quiet at night, which is a big plus.

Our site was infested with fire ants. Was told there was nothing they could do about it.

Our camp neighbors had about 6 car loads of people join them throughout the weekend.... kind you, with coronavirus rules, each campsite was to have less than 6 people..... so rules were clearly not followed. They felt it was completely necessary and acceptable to blast techno/rave music from about 8am until 10pm.

This experience was not relaxing at all.

Only positive was that the weather was nice and the bathrooms were clean.

Was over ran by fire aunts the dumpster was over flowing with trash and the beach was littered with trash

We are truly sorry Sawnee is not open longer into the fall. Right when weather is great for camping the park closes. The park volunteers were friendly and helpful. We will come back.

This is a beautiful campground and we love coming here to visit. There are so many thing's to do around the area. Hiking, swimming, kayaking, boating, fishing just to name a few. We have had the nicest camp host & hostess everytime we stay at Sawnee. The bathrooms are clean as well as the whole campground. I highly recommend this campground to everyone.
Thanks again for being so kind & friendly!

Great rv park camp host very friendly

Sawnee has some beautiful water sites, easy access to small sandy beaches around the campground and a boat ramp that can be used for launching kayaks. The hosts were amazing. Dale and Anita, Jim and Nancy, thank you so much for your assistance and willingness to go beyond. Roberto, the maintenance guy was also cordial and helpful. My husband had to be hospitalize while there and they went out of their way to help. I would have stayed there longer IF we could have. Thank you Sawnee you made a difficult time a little easier. We stayed in three sites in two weeks, because of our late reservations due to sudden need to stay longer in the area. Site 54/31/51.. of all three 51 was the worst only because of the highway noise and lots of spiders and biting ants.

A beautiful campground. Hope to come back soon!

Lovely park. We call it “urban camping” because of the enjoyment of being in nature and at the lake, yet only five miles from almost any grocery/restaurant/Home Depot or Lowe’s. Be sure to bring a camping chair or some sort of stool or something when using the bath house showers. There are no benches in the stalls. Only one small hook on the back of the door.
