What Guests Are Saying
Axtel campground is praised for its beautiful location, clean facilities, and friendly hosts, particularly Vickie, who ensures a pleasant experience for visitors. Many families enjoy the quiet atmosphere, spacious campsites with easy access to water activities, and a welcoming community of fellow campers. However, some guests noted issues such as low water levels, closed restrooms, and occasional noise, but these did not significantly detract from the overall positive experiences reported.

The Camp Host was outstanding! We had reserved a site which was going to be directly in the sun during a horrific heat wave and our ac was having trouble keeping up. The Host recommended a different site and it was perfect.

Best campground ever. The gate attendant was so nice and helpful, I think her name was Vicky. When we got there the camp site was to small for us she got us moved in seconds. The Park Rangers were on top of everything and as nice as they could be. Thanks for a wonderful time we will be back. John and Kim

Site 34 has a great view. A little difficult to Navigate a 33 ft class A between trees. Would not suggest staying longer than 3 days due to the difficulty of maneuvering the honey pot from the site to get to the dump station. Site was gravel, rocky, fairly level, nice sunset view with good tree coverage to block from evening sun. Was able to use starlink. Did not use bathroom facilities. No grassy area at the site for dog to use bathroom. 5 weeknights stay.

We had a great time all of the other campers were very friendly and willing to help everyone out. The park is very cleaning well maintained. We will be back to camp more this year.

I love coming here. I have been coming here for over 10 years. One think I could hope for us better ↑ keeping on the grounds.

Water had been drained so no swimming.
Campsite too close to some kind of electrical generator that went off day n night. The grass so long our 10 lb dog was half hidden and the sewer drains were placed too close to where the fire pits were.

WIFI hotspot never worked until early evening - could not get up address. When it did work, it dropped signal every few minutes. Cell signal non-existent for ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile. No one man's the entrance Monday to Wednesday, so good luck if you have a need.
