Campsite 70 itself was very neat. The only concern was the electrical hook up had been push over and looked like the lower section had been broken. We reported it and it was fixed within the next day. The only thing that was unexpected was the loss of one bathroom shower house completely which then made other campers use the one nearest us a bit more so there was a little bit of wait time when wanting to use the restroom or shower. I also was surprised with being down one complete bathroom/shower house that the restrooms didn’t seem to be kept up very well.

This site is clean with great tree coverage. The bathrooms and showers nearest could use a lot of TLC. Better quality bathrooms are a bit farther away. We loved being so near to the beach, but it was often closed to E. Coli outbreaks in the water. The stargazing down by the beach is phenomenal. Sites are pretty close together in this loop.

Always a good time at Sugarbottom. So many activities to choose from- frisbee golf, mountain biking, swimming, fishing. It was clean and quiet. Only reason for 4 stars- no water or sewer hook ups so you have to use the bath houses to shower. There is no temperature control on the showers and the water was HOT! Not what you want on sunburned skin after a day on the beach.

It's nice for families and boaters, but not very peaceful for those who want a nature experience and you need a car to drive to trailheads or attractions in the area.

We had a beautiful view of the river from our campsite. Large grassy area for our dog. Excellent firewood available. The site was large and allowed for guests to park.

It seems like every holiday week there is some kind of problem. This time we lost water pressure for part of day. This led to all the restrooms being closed. Once we had water pressure back we still had to wait another hour for the restrooms to be opened. It was also inconvenient for some of the campers since they had removed one restroom and they didn't have it rebuilt yet even though they were closed for the month of May. Last year during the 4th of July week we lost our electricity. I am beginning to wonder if we should go somewhere else in the future.

This was a nice campground. If you use the tent area the sites aren't really level. There is a beach, boat ramp, and playgrounds for the kids.
