Excellent time! Nice campground; B 07 was nice and flat. There was plenty of space for our 2 dogs.

We had such a great time here. The campground is clean and well maintained. The restrooms were also well kept.
The campground is less than a 5 minute drive to a gas station/convenience store and a dollar general right across the street.
It was quiet during the week and the weekend really picked up.
We'll be back!

The campground was well maintained and the bathroom/shower house was clean. The volunteers were helpful (even when not on duty). I hope we have another opportunity to visit Wax again.

The finally trimmed the trees at our favorite Camp site after a couple of years. THANK YOU. If would not have happened without the Great Volenters speaking with park officials and showing them the damage to my RV, I would highly recommend this campground to anyone looking for a great place to camp and enjoy the lake.

I was really surprised at how incredibly clean the entire area was, during our stay. Everything from the bathroom facilities, showers, campgrounds and lakeside.
Our specific site had a nice large grass area that backed up to a fence. Our site was so level, we didn’t have to make any adjustments to our 5th wheel camper!
We noticed some sites were smaller and some incredibly larger! After walking around, we picked a couple sites and booked another reservation to come back and by directly in the water. I can’t wait!!
As for my only ‘con’, there is only trash dump facilities at the entrance. Not a huge big deal, but we didn’t realize until day 2. lol!
Oh yes! Almost forgot to mention he darling little building that was on honor payment system. GREAT place to buy wood, fresh fruits and vegies!! Very clever!! Plan to use this resource on our next trip!
Lastly, we have family property in the area and although we have used the lake for over 40 years, we have NEVER stayed at a campground. We cannot get our new camper down to our family property, which is why we are at the campsite. SOOOO glad we chose Wax! Did not disappoint!! 🥰🥰🥰

This was our very first time staying at Wax. We stayed in site B 20. While a little on the short side as far driveway length is concerned, the site offered almost all day shade and was fairly private from the sites around. The site was reasonably level and offered easy access to the bath house if needed. I would recommend this site to those with smaller rigs and only one vehicle. That said, I do recommend thus site and our experience at Wax was first class.
