My husband and I always enjoy the COE campgrounds the most. However, during our stay at Watsadler COE Campground, it was extremely annoying to find several campers not willing to pick up their pet's poop. We bring 4 trained retrievers with us every year and find the lack of responsibility among 5 campers with dogs in our loop was extremely irritating. I even offered poop bags to a couple of them but the bags were put in their pockets and not used to my knowledge. I wish the camp host/ranger would remind everyone coming in to camp, their responsibilities as a pet owner. 1. Keep your dog on a leash, and for the cleanliness of the park and the health of other campers, PICK UP YOUR DOG'S POOP!!!!!!!!! Is there anything that could be done (short of evicting campers who don't pick up) to remind campers of THIER responsibilities as a pet owner?????

Fabulous location. Most sites are on the lakefront. Large mostly level sites with 50/30 amp power and water. Convenient dump station if needed access roads are asphalt. I'll definitely be back
