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.

I love Axtel. It's so hard to find a good spot sometimes but we love every trip. Would recommend the other bathrooms open to make that easy for campers.

This was my first time camping at Axtel camp site. Although the site seemed a little small and the sites were close to each other. The experience over all was enjoyable. The swimming area was a short easy walk and access to the lake to go fishing was across the street and did not disturb or interfere with My neighbors.

Almost every site is on the lake or has a good view of the lake. Each restroom facility is outfitted with public Wi-Fi antenna that covers most sites. Nice check out time(4:30pm). The one area we were disappointed in was the site cleanliness. We left our site more clean than we found it. We thought the bathhouse facilities were keep clean
