The site was terrible and dangerous. Very narrow. When you got out of your camper, you nearly stepped off the pad. There was less than 6 inches past the steps. From the pad it was a huge drop off, with huge chunks of uneven hard to cross rock (not gravel) next to the pad. You had to go across holding onto your camper because the picnic area was in the rear of your camper. Poor set up. Poorly designed. Needs a deck like the one above and below that extends the walking area to have a safe path to at least get to the back and the table! I fell three times, my daughter fell, my husband slipped 4 times in 3 days! We would not recommend this sight to anyone! In fact it should be closed until it’s safe! We were so excited to get in at Woodring only to be so disappointed in 12! The trees coming itn from 282 are too low as well. They drag across every camper top and sides.

Was a beautiful weekend! Stayed on site #20 for the first time. Nice and shaded and had a path down to the lake. Can’t wait to catch it open again, but looks like it’ll have to be next year.

When we went the lady and the older gentleman who were watching over the campground were amazing. Helped us when we couldn’t find the beach and was even kind enough to give us a bug spray because we sadly forgot ours.

What can I say, the campground is very nice and the sites are great. But... the management needs work. First of all, the garbage was collected in a large open dumpster. We were there for two weeks and the garbage was never picked up or emptied. After the Memorial Day weekend it was overflowing and the birds and animals were throwing it around. This was right on the main road through the campground. It was pretty bad!
Secondly, they built a new shower house/bathroom building with 5 total rooms (4 with showers) for the entire campground. The combo shower/toilet rooms flooded so you had to walk in water to use the toilet. If someone was taking a shower, that room was unavailable for a while. And to top it off, one toilet stopped working, so that room was out of service for the whole last week we were there.
