Super friendly attendees. Park is clean. Bathhouse is clean. We had to leave earlier than our planned stay. The attendee made sure I was refunded my unused day.

Watsadler is amazing!!! This is where my childhood friend and her Husband camp with their family, and they invited me to come camping with them this Summer. I fell in love with Watsadler! You are greeted with Southern Hospitality upon check in, and the campground is clean, peaceful, and beautiful. I can't say enough good about this Campground . . . highly recommend and look forward to my next visit. Thank you so much for such a wonderful camping experience . . . so grateful!

We loved the shaded sites, lake view, and short access from the main highway.

Weather was hot but the campground was very nice. Paved access roads, gravel sites and our site, #17, was pretty level.
Bathrooms were clean but could use a little TLC. A/C in the bathrooms would be a huge plus! Would definitely camp here again.

Great campground. Playgrounds for the kids, nice road for bicycling. The grounds are maintained as well as bath houses. Wonderful place
The host and hostess are friendly and most helpful to answer any questions.
Walmart is located just down the road as well as a few restaurants. You have the best of both worlds. Love camping here!
