Friendly staff, level sites and free WiFi. A lot of sites next to water, and a large beach.

We enjoy this camp ground a lot. However the bathhouse that services sections D and E does not fully work. The women’s shower hasn’t worked all summer and the men’s shower has terrible water pressure. I know not the end of the world but is frustrating.

Love the Axtel campsites! They are well taken care of by the Manager-sites are level, easy to maneuver, not too close to your neighbor, and the best part is they all have a beautiful view of the lake; it's one of our favorite places to camp!
The lake is beautiful and perfect for our pontoon, not too crowded and the sunsets at the end of the day are spectacular.

Glad my site became open. I like the water up closer. Attendant was very nice. Can’t wait to come back on my next reservation! 😁

The one reason I gave it a 3 star the restrooms no hand dryers no hand soap some sites could use some rock. But besides that it's awesome campground.
