Let me start out with the location. It’s a really nice campground and close to water. The swimming spot is sort of a small area but it still is a great place for swimming. The camping spots are kind of right on top of each other which brings me into why I gave this place only 2 stars. Had it not been for the closeness of the water it would have been 1 star. For starters, we were a group of moms who wanted to get away and have a fun camping trip. We understand this spot is more family friendly which is fine! We had never been to this spot prior. Anyways, 2 of us got there before everyone else in our group and immediately the park “host” came around to let them know not once but TWICE that quiet time was 10pm as tho we were going to be a problem. It was the same person so he knew he had already told them once before. At 930 he came around and we decided to chat with him. A lady walked up and stood there while we talked to him to complain TO HIM WITH US RIGHT THERE pretty much about our generator AT 930! It wasn’t even quiet time yet. We were planning to have it shut off by 10 but we had just got done cooking some food. The next day, we went to the beach and left our generator running while we were gone to charge some of our stuff. At 730 the park ranger came by and stated people were complaining AGAIN about it. Mind you, again, this is before quiet time. At this point we were fed up with the complaints and “bothering” people so we decided to take our propane fire pit to the beach, which we were told we could do that Friday. Not even 15 mins down there the park ranger comes down to yell at us again stating we couldn’t do that. Apparently you can have propane pits under trees but not next to water. Go figure. Needless to say, we will never camp here again. If you have a generator, don’t bother.

The highway was very loud. The campsite was too close to the bathroom at night as the lights were too bright.
The campsite was clean, and I appreciated the intimacy yet the campsites had privacy.

Very nice park on the small side but big sites. The main complaint from others was road noise but it was not too bad

Great place but very dusty. Mostly came to go to silverwood but everyone was great.

We have camped at the "Mudhole" for the past several years. We enjoy it very much. The lots are clean and we feel safe. The attendants are always friendly and helpful. The only suggestion would be to have the attendants or rangers check the play structure for wasp nests. There were several on the structure and a little boy was stung 7 or 8 times while we were there. Overall great experience and we will continue to camp there

We very much enjoy the quiet, relaxing campground. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. We strongly recommend this campground.

Very dry. All the spots feel like there is no privacy due to layout and lack of grass and bushes. Showers were fine and park area was nice. I feel the lack of privacy was why I am giving low rating. Host were nice.

Our site was easy to get to and easy to back into. I just wished that we were a little bit further away from the highway. I wish that fresh water had standard hose fittings but restrooms were clean and close.

We were in spots #9 & 11. Spot#11, in my opinion, is made for a camper/trailer and not for tents. We had to set up our tent within the border of space on gravel as well as having your vehicle, picnic bench, and fire pit within this area. The spots are alittle close, but, hey....it's camping. We all had a great time and the bathrooms were very clean.
