What Guests Are Saying
Bartoo Island Boat-in Campground offers a fantastic camping experience with beautiful beaches, clear water, and plenty of space for activities. While some campers noted issues with tent placement due to slanted grounds and high bee activity during meals, overall cleanliness and ample recreational opportunities make it a favorite destination for many families. A suggestion for improvement includes adding more vault toilets.

We enjoyed the campsite. The only thing we had a problem with was flat spaces for tents. There was a little bit of a slant in the spaces we put our tents on. Other than that, it was clean and lots of space. We’ll definitely go back

Everything was good except the bees were super out of control. We had to eat our meals in the lake because there were hundreds swarming non-stop. But besides that the beach was beautiful, water clear, campsite was very large.
