We love Wax campground and will be there on several outings. It's been a rough camping season due to flooding, but all will work out. Thank you for all you do.

Site was narrow for a pull through. Struggled to get our 31 ft Jayco in and out of the site because of a sharp curve to the left. A a LOT of ticks.

The park was clean and there was a lot of shady places. Only thing I wish it had was a beach and or a good non rocky place to park boats. Playground was nice for smaller children.

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.
