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.

Was good until people came in with barking dogs, screaming unattended children. Looked like an 18 month old just roamed around also unattended. The adults were loud talkers!!!! Children road bikes in road… darting out in front of vehicles. No helmets no shirts no shoes. I felt bad for other campers. Glad our time was done!!!!!

Activities in the area should be posted or given out on a flyer. Grass is growing up through the gravel on most sites; looks terrible. Gnats and mosquitoes are really bad this year, so I guess they don’t spray. Shower heads are old and don’t work well in some showers.

It’s a great place! Very easy to get in and out of and lots of kids for your family to play with. Restrooms are clean but old. Have difficulty getting an ATT signal or WiFi so don’t stake your trip on being connected.

A great camp ground. My last site was on the water. Looking across the lake at the lights of others reflecting in n the water and the Sunrise Beautiful. A very clean well kept facility.

Adam is very nice ranger. We have enjoyed our stays camping. We have tried various sites. Over the 4th holiday - late night fireworks went over quiet time. The dock marina at the Lodge needs some TLC. We climbed the path but it was a challemge. Love the area❣️

The best campground at Rough River! Need to be more lenient about parking( in grass) during holiday times. I know money is tight but need to tidy things up better like it used to be for years.
