Great campsite. The only thing is they need water and sewer hook ups. We left early since we ran out of water

Boulder is quickly becoming our favorite campground. It’s well maintained. Spaces have good distance between them. Hosts are very helpful and accommodating.
This spot is great. Excellent view of the water. Lovely breeze. Relatively flat. We will see if this spot is available on future trips

Awesome campground way nicer than KOA or good Sam. The pads are all paved very wide and are very level. Even the picnic table is on the paved pad. Keeps the camper very clean inside.

The hosts Kevin & Wendy were super friendly & helpful! And the nightly sunsets over the lake were my favorite part of our stay! The bathrooms were clean & air conditioned! We took the ranger-led sunset tour of the dam which was interesting and watched fireworks from the Dam West Beach.

Very clean shower house and many shaded spots to pick from. We were in #62 which had a lot of area and shade and very close to the shower house.

The sites are great. The campground hosts are even better. They remember you, come visit, make it a great weekend. We used to do Pere Marquette all the time but have moved to Boulder. The park is clean and all sites have a lake view.
