Bo Woods Campground is praised for its cleanliness, well-maintained sites, and friendly staff, making it a popular choice for campers. Many visitors enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the ample opportunities for boating and biking in the area. However, some noted the limitations in fishing access, crowded weekends, and the condition of restrooms, suggesting areas for improvement. Overall, it remains a favored destination for camping enthusiasts.

The host where we were at was extremely friendly. Our friends electric water heater needed repair. The Host graciously loaned us his specialty tool and we were able to remove a plug and replace the burnt part with a new one. Thanks to the Host. The campground would have oeoole clean the restrooms every day. Great place to camp.

we like bo Woods. Used the main shower house and not only at Bo but at other Rec.gov they need to power wash the floors with a bleach mixture a few times a year. i did notice some of the plaster is coming off the walls so they need to consider maintaining that before long. The plus is the bathrooms were maintained for they did not have bugs all over the floor like other places do and they did look clean. They mowed after we first got there still setting up camp and he blew the grass towards our campground when he could have blew it into the woods must have been a new mower. Rocks flew and barely missed my dog and hit our camper. He noticed that too and disengaged the mower then and we went inside the camper for a bit. They need some safety tips while mowing when people are around but mistakes do happen and he did correct it.. although he just disengaged and did not change the direction of the mower. Although when they were finished the grass still looked high not like we mow at home. That is a concern but we did not pick up any ticks like we did somwhere else that left the lawn higher than that when they were finished. Bo Woods is a nice place to camp and we liked our campsight also.
