Our site was 135. Big, level site with plenty of shade and a view of the water. We were impressed by a worker coming in and cleaning the ash from our fire pit! Great dump site in that hose is provided to enable a flush out (many don’t have the hose). All persons were friendly and helpful.

Super easy to pull into. Lots of room on this spot. This is usually a quiet area. The only negative would be the smell at times from the lift station nearby.

It was very quiet and clean. They had nice roads for bike riding and the parking spaces were huge in section 4c. Loved this park. The lake was beautiful and the staff was very pleasant.

My favorite place to camp! Beautiful area....we love being able to use the lake just a short drive to the boat ramp. Close to Sullivan in case you need groceries. The North End and Nessies are great places for a lunch on the lake after boating. Returning to our campsite and having dinner together with other campers and a nice fire to sit around on is the most relaxing time.
We love Bo Woods. Have been coming here for our 40 years.
