we really liked the location and site, although cell phone reception is horrible there. The site had enough room to park everything we needed and it had an overflow in case our person pulled to far up and squelched our much needed room ha ha.. We were able to dock the boat in the lake while their and that is a plus for us .

Bo Woods is a fantastic park. Paved streets, clean, large gravel sites with picnic tables. We stay in a 40’ Motorhomes with slides-plenty of room. There are about 50 sites that are FHU, another 100+ that are water and electric.
This park is well run, maintenance is spot on 👍🏻 The check-in staff are informed and experienced volunteers. You expect things to go very well at Bo Woods 😜

1 complaint. 8 dumpsters all clustered together at the check-in station, none throughout the widespread campground loops. Very inconvenient compared to past practice of placing 1 in each area.
