Old Federal

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Old Federal late summer of 2019.
We’d have given it five stars except that the bathhouse we deliberately rented spaces near turned out to be closed for repairs, (we were told it had been closed for several months due to clogged drain lines that would have to be dug up and replaced all the way to the main line), it was quite a walk to the only nearby open bathhouse.
When I saw the showers in that bathhouse I was surprised at how dirty or moldy/mildewed they appeared to be. After buying cleaner with bleach and a scrub brush to clean the one I wanted to use I discovered that what I thought was dirt or mold/mildew was most likely old mold/mildew stain since no amount of scrubbing affected it, but I felt much better using the shower after scrubbing it.
The washing machine and dryer in the bathhouse both worked and were inexpensive to use and there was a nice sized table for folding clothes. They were a bit dusty due to their partially open location but that was easily solved with a quick wipe.
We had a great little beach by our campsites where we tied up our boat the week we were there. The boat gave us access to several great restaurants at marinas like Pelican Pete’s which has a nice restaurant with good service, good food and reasonable prices. We enjoyed the restaurant at Aqualand very much and ate lunch there several times as well as dinner one evening, again great food, service and fair pricing.
All in all it was a great stay in spite of the bathhouse issues and we will stay here again this year. The pricing is a bargain for what you get in comparison to private campgrounds and the campsites are very nice with concrete pads and picnic tables at each camper site.
Most sites have some shade from the many types of trees near them and all the hookups worked well, the group of friends we were camping with had no problems with hook ups either.
We’re all looking forward to our stay at Old Federal this year.

We love camping at Old Federal. We plan to do it again and again. It's close to home for us and our boats are just across the bay at Aqualand Marina.

It was our second camping site. The park was very clean and well kept. Hosts were very helpful. Really enjoyed the water views and trees.
Can't wait to go back again.

Campsite hosts were really good. Bath rooms were clean, but dated. Campsites clean.

The park was very nice and our site was good. The staff at the park were very friendly. I have stayed at Old Federal several times and have always had a great stay.

great trip

I was told that I could not pull my boat up on the beach in front of my campsite by the attendant
In years past we did
I spoke with corps of engineers about this and was informed that we can still pull boats on the beach

Love this park

Old Federal is a beautiful campground with most sites on the water. I love watching the sailboats from the sailing club across the lake. The sites are well maintained.

Camp ground are very nice,clean, BUT the Bath Houses,was not in working order, But every thing else is A-OK, Please try keeping OLD FEDERAL OPEN,ALL YEAR! THANKS ? MAY GOB BLESS, NO BODY ELSE WILL!
