Had a lot at the north end of the campground. Great view of the lake. All the workers were nice, bathrooms and park clean.

Been camping here since it opened, the lake was built on my grandpa's land. Restrooms are clean, campgrounds are well kept, may need mowed more often. Host are good people and one is a veteran, which is great for anyone there. I believe there is a county sheriff that full time camps also. Great places for parking boats either in slips or along the shore. Boulder is my go to for peace and quiet!

Great campground. Probably our favorite spot at Carlyle lake.
Clean.
Everything is new.
Level pads are GREAT!!
Only 2 complaints that I have are
1. The water fill station when you enter is on the wrong side of the road.
90% of Utilities on a motorhome camper RV are on drivers side.
This water fill is on passenger side.
2. Speeding cars within the park.
Lots of kids and walkers and cars fly through the park.
Otherwise it’s always a great stay at Boulder.
