The campsites are absolutely beautiful! We went on a hike and saw beautiful landscape and saw waterfalls. We had so much fun kayaking. We will definitely be back.

Our campsite was very good. However getting in and out of the reservoir was a pain as you had to wade through tons of mud and leeches to get our kayaks into the water.

The grounds were really well kept as well as the trails, the bathrooms were almost spotless. The grounds host toured often to make sure everything was ok.
The campground itself was wonderful. I do wish people observed the noise hours, and also wish there was a section for people who didn’t want to hear generators all day and night.

Loved it here. The scenery was great and the lake water was beautiful and calm enough to take our paddleboards out onto. The only negative is no trash service so you have to find some way to hide all your trash in bear country until you leave.

Our poor experience was not the fault of anyone. We experienced a rare weather event with extremely high winds that toppled multiple large trees (3'-4' diameter) and caused a fatality and serious injury to other campers at Antelope Campground. EMS response was significantly delayed due to multiple trees blocking all access roads into Antelope Campground. Campground Host highly encouraged us to leave campground due to hazardous conditions remaining due to "leaner" trees. Campground Host was very conscientious about confirming location of all campers prior to leaving campground.
