It’s a beautiful campground and the camp hosts are very nice and very helpful so it is crying shame that it is being let go like it is.

We rented a camping trailer and spent 4 days at Old Federal Campground. It was a beautiful, quiet place. The restrooms were very clean, although our facility on the first loop needed a hand dryer. We are rookie campers, so it is difficult to make comparisons, but we highly recommend Old Federal.

Another excellent trip to Old Federal Campground. I love returning here each year. The grounds are spotless. The camp hosts are the best. Definitely one of the best COE parks in the country.

The water views are excellent at almost all sites. We left one of our kayaks at a nearby beach area along the shoreline between sites with no problem. Others did the same. We also enjoyed watching the Wednesday evening sailboat racing.
