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

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

It’s my opinion that this campground is the best CORE OF ENGINEER campground and a model for any new campgrounds!
It’s is clean easy in & out, staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. This park also has concrete sites with FULL HOOKUPS!
Great Job to who ever designed it.
The only 1 thing is I wish they would replace or repair the old Bridge inside the park trail.
