Loved this campground.. all site have a view of the lake. Most of them are right on the lake. The shower house was clean, the showers were a little small, hard not to touch a wall while washing.

Grass hadn’t been cut this year at all. Ticks were horrible due to that lack of maintenance on the grounds.

This was my 1st stay at Axtel. The bathhouse was clean, and the hostess was friendly. All the campsites appeared to be in good condition. We will come back here.
