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.

We have been camping there for years, it used to be the best, but now the grass is always too tall, trees have been ground up and still in a mound, ridiculous on holiday weeks to be so Anal about parking in the grass, was told boats were ok because not as much contamination from a boat vs a vehicle (joke) plan on still camping there hoping someone wake up and makes it as good as it used to be

This campground has very little attention.
As a camper, we do not have a bathroom in our camper. Therefore we are forced to use a disgusting, unsanitary bathroom. They are probably 45 or more years old and have only been painted. Gross. Not to mention they do not keep the bathroom stocked with toilet paper.
The grass is Always a month high the first of June. Family tradition will stop at axtel once the elders are gone.
The lady who volunteers at axtel is a kind,well organized person. She worked hard for us and there were 65 of us.

We love Axtel! The beach was a little rough due to the recent flooding, but that is fixed now! Bathhouses are clean and camp hosts are great!

The fire pit area was not very handicapped accessible on lot 54 it was sunk down about 4 inches from the pavement and hard to maneuver a wheelchair up and over the railroad ties.
The electrical and water hookups are in an awkward spot too. You have to have an extra long hose to hook up from your camper to the faucet itself. Same goes for the electric hookup. You have to have an extra long cord to plug into the electrical box.
Other than that, it was great.
