Site A 6 is very unlevel and the hookups are in an odd place. But it is a nice campground.

Great place to camp if you have a boat and love being right on the lake! Also, be sure to walk across the street and get something to eat at The Lodge on Nolin.

The camp host we encountered is an extremely nice lady. The lots and restrooms were clean. The lots however are close together, as is typical. We tent camped and found only a few spots with shade. My lower star rating is primarily due to lack of shaded lots and closeness to each other.

Power supply is lacking. On Thur when the camp ground was nearly empty I had no issues. By Friday afternoon I could not use my microwave as the voltage at the pole was dropping. On sat my watch dog shut off due to low voltage We are at the end of the loop in B34 and B35. This should not happen. It appears as more sites are utilized the end sites loose ability to use power as needed. The wire is not big enough to span the sites. We have one more scheduled and after that will not be camping at wax due to this issue. I cannot be on the water all day and not have air In my camper due to low voltage

Wax is our favorite place to camp. Nice quiet, friendly campground. Right across the street from Wax Marina and The Lodge. Beautiful views of the lake. We’re there every chance we get.

The quiet and peacefulness was more than expected. Restrooms were clean but location was poorly lit. Overall will repeat as it was a quiet and relaxing visit.
