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 rented a tent site from Thursday to Tuesday and we didn’t get to check in until Saturday due to unpredictable circumstances and the lady at the toll house told me that if that had been Electrical site it would have been rented to someone else please tell me how is that possible since I paid for the site what gives her the right to rent a site that I paid for 😡

We left 2 days early due to thunderstorms and our tent being flooded. We have yet to be refunded for those days and was charged for 2 more days randomly for no reason. Can’t get ahold of anyone to settle the situation either. Been going here for 25 years but we will not be booking again until this is settled.

Great park, with large sites and a great view of the lake from almost everywhere
The park attendants are the best
