When I went to register she was 40 minutes late on monday. The grass is cut high and looked like it needed cut directly after the mowing for it was very tall before and tall afterwards. it harbored deer ticks because it was so tall. The restrooms were not cleaned daily. We were not happy with the campground although the sight was nice. One family showerhouse would not lock. Do they need someone else oversseing that campground? It was the worst kept up I have seen since camping again.

We were only able to stay long enough to get some sleep before we had to head out. Didn’t even unhook from the truck. We wish we had been able to stay for several days because this place was immaculate! The fishing report (s) got my husband thinking about spending a week or so down here! Seriously though, the fire pits were the cleanest pits we have ever seen. Rend Lake seems to be a hidden gem and look forward to returning

We had a beautiful site, everything worked, the front gate people were helpful, and the lake is gorgeous.
