As always, we enjoy Bo Wood and return here often. Great gate attendants -- friendly, knowledgeable, and always smiling. Park staff do a great job with mowing and maintenance issues.

Campsite was nice. Water hookups are scarce and not in a place you can pull over to fill up. No indication that we saw of a fill up station before you enter the camp roads. Luckily it was dark when we arrived and not a lot of people were camping that weekend due to the incoming rain I guess so we parked on the road to our campsite and filled up.
People next to us had 3 small children that liked to scream and cry and RUN LAPS and play bouncy house in their camper which sounded like a heard of elephants over the sound of our fan and TV. Running in the trees at dark and I don’t know if the parents knew there was a drop off to the lake back there. Worrisome for sure!

Walking is difficult because most of the time you have to walk on the main roads and most of the campers drive way over the posted speed limit.
