With only half the camp ground open during the winter season why not open the half with the bathhouse open? During the night time you can listen to the coyotes howl any where in the camp ground and you must use your vehicle to go to the rest room instead of foot power. I love the camp ground and visit at least a year.

Overall experience Very Good.
Shower stalls had been painted with Latex paint (over) oil based paint…which is a no no ….so the floor was COVERED with little chips of peeling paint which is “unsightly”…but not as disgusting as it looks at first glance.
The water was hot..pressure was good..and cleanliness was a good solid 5 out of 10

This campground has it all! Water, great price with senior pass, great host, clean heated bathroom, nice walking trail around Hartwell Dam! The sites were spacious and most have water access. We would be happy to come back!
