I enjoy the view of the lake. There is a roped off swimming area not far away. There is a playground for the children, There are also showers available for those who are tent camping or just prefer a shower with more pressure than the one in your camper.

Nice park but the site wasn’t clean (numerous cigarette butts all over around the fire pit. Bathrooms weren’t very clean and there was no hand soap available, just hand sanitizer. That would make sense in the pit toilet areas but this was in the shower house/main bathrooms. No lake access from the campground unless you drive to an access point or walk through 100 ft of shoulder high weeds along the lake. Overall a great location and spacious shaded sites, but could be better.

I love camping at Island view. This was the first time I have used H1 and I was very disappointed. It was swamp. There needs to be some dirt work done to fill in the low spots. Just be warned that if it is suppose to rain don't reserve this site.

I had made an 8 day reservation at Islandview campground, Sunday to the following Monday, the fish ended up not biting and tried to cancell the last 3 nites. MAY 11 through May 18

after a stressful time on the phone with a representative' I was told that there was an active reservation for my campsite and that they could not do anything about it, VERY frustrating, so I could not cancell the remaining 3 nites,, Was never told what an ACTIVE reservation was all about

Spacious, well maintained sites with a great view of the lake. Signage could be better for those who don't know their way around but otherwise an excellent experience.

Not many people were there. Grounds had not been mowed yet. We only spent one night but our site was nice. It was level and clean.
